Transcript Request

The Office of Advising, Records and Registration Services issues transcripts upon electronic authorization by the student. The College does not copy or release transcripts furnished to the College by other institutions. Each transcript issued is a complete and accurate copy of a student’s academic record to date. It includes all work completed at Ringling College, as well as all credit transferred from other colleges and universities. President’s List, Academic Probation, Academic Dismissal, and Withdrawal Dates are noted on the transcript, if applicable. Unofficial transcripts are available online via Self-Service for current students and graduates that still have access to their account. The Office of Advising, Records and Registration Services will not release transcripts to students who owe the College money or have defaulted on educational loans.

Throughout the ordering and fulfillment process, you will receive emails and text messages to keep you updated on the status of your order.

Spaces

The Alfred R. Goldstein Library features a wide variety of quiet, group study, and work process spaces. Looking for a quiet study area? Make your way up to the 3rd floor to look for a book in the Research Collection or peruse the new art magazines while relaxing in comfortable seating. When the weather is nice, you can take your coffee from Roberta’s Café on the first floor to one of the four terraces to work outside and enjoy the sights and sounds of nature. Looking for meeting space to get together with a group? Check out the group study rooms, which are available on all three floors of the Goldstein Library. The 10 group study rooms are available to students on a first-come first served basis, or available for booking by Ringling College faculty and staff for group and class meetings.
