Request for Academic Records

If you are moving or transferring to a new school requests for student academic records may be directed to the registrar in our Student Services Office, (703-442-5812). There is a 5 day turn around time, so please plan accordingly. If you want copies mailed, please be sure to provide us with a stamped, addressed envelope. Requests for student medical records also should be directed to the registrar. If you are currently applying to private schools please follow the instructions listed below to complete the process.
