transcript requests
Academic Achievement Record | Official Copies of the Academic Achievement Record
Universities or other entities that request official copies of the AAR directly from the RISD are responsible for obtaining authority from students for release of such records. Students may also request direct mailings of official copies to colleges or to prospective employers. An official AAR provided by the District may be differentiated from the copy given to the student or family. The words "Official Copy" imply that the AAR is transmitted directly from the school to the authorized requesting institution without the possibility of alteration. A transcript copy should be marked or stamped "Official Copy" only at the time of its authorized release to another institution or student-approved recipient, excluding parents. This stamp or manual entry is never put on the original file document and is not placed on the copy provided to the student or family. The principal or his/her designee may also print or type his or her name and title and date the AAR. An embossed school seal may also be used on official copies of the AAR along with the "Official Copy entry.
RISD must ensure that copies of transcripts are made available to schools to which students transfer. The transfer of the AAR may not be withheld for any reason. The transcript must be forwarded to the receiving district within 30 days of a student's enrollment in that district. The transcript is important for a student's appropriate placement and continued education as well as for various reports and entries on the assessment forms. The right of access to the transcript is protected by law (TEC 25.002). Use the link on the bottom right of this page to request a transcript.
Campus or District Academic Achievement Record Requests Procedure
Students may request copies of their AAR (transcripts) through the campus guidance office or the RISD Records Management Office. A request form must be completed and signed by the student and parent (if the student is not of age), designating permission to send grades, college admissions, and other test scores, etc. A fee is normally assessed for this record. In order for the AAR to be "official" (required by educational institutions, scholarships, and other agencies), it must be signed and dated by a school official and the school seal must be affixed. (See "Official Copy" stipulations listed above.
