Grade reports are issued at the end of each semester/term. All final grade reports will be mailed to you at the address you gave the college at the time you applied unless you have initiated a change of address in writing.
Transfer of Academic Record (Transcript)
In accordance with the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974, Burlington County College is not permitted to release your academic record without your written permission.
An official transcript bearing the college seal and the signature of the registrar will be sent directly to another educational institution or employer upon receipt of written request from you. Requests should be submitted to the Registration Office. There is a $5 fee for this service. Allow at least one week for processing. Transcripts of students who owe money to the College will not be sent until the balance is paid.
To protect the security of student records, any transcript which will be handled by a student bears the notation "Issued to Student." Most institutions will not accept as official a transcript bearing this notation.
