[Oacrao-l] Copies of Transcripts

[Gowdy, Barbara]

To clarify something that has come up during this exchange do you give the student a copy when they are first admitted to take with them to see an advisor or faculty or are they expected to bring in two official transcripts.  I know that OCCC may be unique in that many of our students are admitted as walk ins.  How would you handle advisors or faculty needing to see the transcript for prerequisites, etc., if you don't provide a copy to the student?

Barbara,

In general, OSU does not provide students with copies of educational records we maintain (including transcripts from other institutions or other admission documents).  In rare occasions we have granted an exception to a student with extenuating circumstances and provided him/her copies of select records.  In addition, if a student invokes his or her FERPA rights to review education records, we allow the student to inspect his/her documents according to the guidelines contained in our institutional FERPA policy.

What is your policy regarding giving students a copy of another institution's transcript which they have previously submitted?
