Who issues transcripts and enrollment verifications, and what types can be requested?

• A. Through the registrar; students may request unofficial or official transcripts; verification services may be used for employment or admissions.
• B. Through the student affairs office; all transcripts are official only.
• C. Through the financial aid office; unofficial transcripts only.
• D. Through the dean's office; verification not available.

Answer: (A)

Transcripts and enrollment verifications are handled by the registrar, the office that manages official student records. The registrar keeps your academic information and is the designated source for formal documents you might need for outside requests. You can obtain both types of transcripts: unofficial transcripts, which you can view or print for your own use, and official transcripts, which are the formal records sent directly to third parties such as employers or another school and typically issued with a seal or secure electronic verification. Enrollment verifications confirm whether you are currently enrolled or have been enrolled in the past, and these can be used for employment or admissions purposes, often processed through the registrar or a contracted verification service. Other offices, like student affairs, financial aid, or the dean’s office, don’t issue official transcripts or enrollment verifications.
