An official College of the Atlantic (COA) transcript includes a cover sheet that lists all course titles and credits attempted by the student.  An official full transcript adds written evaluations and self-evaluations for each course attempted.  The transcript may also indicate completion of non-credit requirements.  The cover sheet alone can be signed and embossed with the official college seal as an official transcript.  The cover sheet with the entire set of evaluations is often requested.

To order an official transcript for an educational institution or prospective employer, the student must submit a release form (available at http://www.coa.edu/html/registrationmaterials.htm) to the Registrar's Office; a signed letter or note is acceptable.  This request may be mailed to Attn: Registrar, 105 Eden Street, Bar Harbor, ME  04609 or it may be faxed to (207) 288-2947.  Please keep in mind that transcripts take seven to ten days to process after receipt of a signed release form.

All requests for transcripts must be pre-paid in full. Cover sheet transcripts are $5 for the first copy and $2 for each additional copy; full transcripts are $10 for the first copy and $5 each additional copy.  Students requesting a transcript(s) should include a credit card number or check made out to COA.  Note that transcripts are not released if the student has overdue bills in the Business Office and/or the Library.

In keeping with policies under the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), the College requires the student's release, in writing, before providing educational records to third parties.
