Transcripts & Records
Transcripts
A student may request that a copy of the student permanent record (transcript) from Blue Ridge Community College be forwarded to other educational institutions, state or federal agencies, employers, or any person(s) designated by the student. The request must be authorized by the individual student by completing and signing a “Transcript Request Form” available in the Admissions and Records Office or on our website at (http://www.brcc.edu/forms.htm).
Due to limitations on access to student information under the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 (Public Law 93-380), telephone and third party requests for transcripts cannot be honored. Normally, transcripts from other educational institutions which have become part of the student’s folder at Blue Ridge may not be duplicated or released, although such records are available for inspection by the individual student.
Records Disposal
The academic records of a student are maintained in the Admissions and Records Office. At the end of three years from the date of the student’s separation from the College, those records, with the exception of the BRCC permanent academic record or transcript, are destroyed. Students who wish to re-enroll in the College after an absence of three or more consecutive academic years must complete another application for admission and have official transcripts from other colleges sent to the Admissions and Records Office at BRCC. For a more detailed written policy on the disposal of academic records, contact the Dean of Student Services.
