Academic Records:
The Registrar's Office maintains official academic records (credit and non-credit) for undergraduate and graduate students at the university. An individual transcript detailing all course work attempted, hours earned, and computation of three GPA's (institutional, transfer, and overall) constitutes the student's permanent academic record. Other student records stored include the admissions application, admission test scores, transcripts from institutions previously attended, recommendation forms, and various data change forms.Armstrong Atlantic follows the published guidelines established by the American Association of Collegiate Registrars and Admissions Officers (AACRAO) and the Family Education Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) for record retention and disposition. Armstrong Atlantic publishes policies on the confidentiality of records in the official student handbook, Students Illustrated, and in the undergraduate and graduate catalogs.
