            A. TRANSCRIPTS AND TRANSFER OF RECORDS
          
        
        
          A transcript is a copy of a student's Permanent Academic Record. It contains a minimum
        
        
          amount of personal data about the student and a chronological account of the student's
        
        
          academic achievements at Darton State College. Also included is a list of courses and
        
        
          credits transferred from any institution formerly attended by the student.
        
        
          Students who wish to have a transcript of their record at Darton State College sent to
        
        
          another institution should submit a “Request for Transcript of Record” form to the
        
        
          Registrar's Office at least two weeks prior to the date the transcript is needed. The first
        
        
          transcript is supplied without cost to the student; additional transcripts are issued upon
        
        
          payment of $2.00 for each transcript issued.
        
        
          In addition to Permanent Academic Records, the College maintains Continuing
        
        
          Education Unit (CEU) records for students earning those credits. Transcripts of CEU
        
        
          records are similar to Permanent Academic Records and are available from the Continuing
        
        
          Education and Community Service Office.
        
        
          
            B. ACCESS TO STUDENT RECORDS
          
        
        
          Regulations pertaining to access to student records are found in the Student Handbook,
        
        
          a copy of which may be obtained from the Office of the Vice President for Student Affairs,

          to register early to secure desired classes.  The BANNER FAQs
