Can parents get a copy of their students' transcript or grade report? College students' records are protected by the Family Educational Right and Privacy Act (FERPA). It restricts institutions from releasing grades and other educational records without the student's written permission. Students may view their grades online through the student ACCESS system after grades have been submitted and recorded by the registrar's office. Since the system is student-controlled, we encourage students to share grade information with their parents. Parents can view grades through the ACCESS system by knowing their student's ID number and PIN. Students can also make a written request for a transcript to be sent home from the registrar's office. Colorado College does not mail grade reports home, it is the student's responsibility to share grades with their parents.

What is the cost of a transcript?

You may receive 10 free transcripts each fiscal year; the charge for additional transcripts is $3 each. The registrar's office also offers overnight FedEx service for an additional $25 fee.
