Transcript Overview
Upon written request to the Office of the Registrar, a current or former ACHE student or graduate may request a transcript. ACHE reserves the right to deny the release of any transcript for reasons including but not limited to administrative holds and/or not returning ACHE and/or ACHE issued items as requested.
Transcripts from previous institutions attended and other documents submitted during the admissions process to ACHE are the property of ACHE and will not be returned to the student or forwarded to a third party.
Official Transcripts
Official transcripts are printed on ACHE security paper in partial color with Registrar’s signature, date, and official ACHE seal. Any official transcript request must include the name and address of the person/institution to whom the official transcript is to be sent.
An enrolled student or former ACHE student with no administrative holds may request an official transcript be sent to a third party. Official transcripts are sent directly to the third party as directed by the student (e.g., scholarship agency, residency program, licensure board, etc.). The Office of the Registrar reserves the right to verify the agency or address where the transcript is to be sent.
Official transcripts and other formal documents are permanent and may not be amended after graduation.
Current students may download the linked form, complete, and email to registrar@achehealth.edu to pick up a transcript in person or have it sent via standard mail.
Unofficial Transcripts
The Registrar’s Office only produces and sends official transcripts. It does not issue unofficial transcripts to students or agencies. Students have 24/7 access to unofficial transcripts on myPortal.

To Request a Letter of Recommendation from current staff or faculty a release/request must be completed. Please note the information in the first paragraph of the release, as it relates to FERPA.
Degree and Enrollment Verification
