College Transcript
To obtain your official college transcript, contact the registrar’s office at your campus. Some Kentucky colleges (though not all) also offer electronic requests. You can see if your school accepts electronic requests at https://mystudentcenter.org/.
College Transcript from Closed School
If you attended a licensed school that is now closed, you can request your transcript using the Council’s closed institutions contact list. However, once a licensed school closes, the Council loses its authority to ensure good recordkeeping practices and cannot guarantee that your records will be available.
