Transcripts

Procedure for Obtaining a School Transcript

The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 prohibits the dissemination of information from student records without the written consent of the student if he/she is 18 or older or the written consent of his/her parent or legal guardian if he/she is younger than 18.

A transcript is the only verification of education/graduation that we can provide because diplomas are not kept as part of the permanent record. Copies of microfilmed transcripts or immunization records are provided at no charge and require at least five business days for processing. Transcripts can be returned via mail or fax but not by email. (There is only one records clerk for Chesterfield County Public Schools, so the processing time may be extended beyond five days.)
