OFFICE OF THE
REGISTRAR
The mission of the Registrar’s Office at Arlington Baptist University is to serve students by assisting them in registration, academic advising, and record management.
Transcript Requests
An official transcript is issued by the Office of the Registrar and is available for a fee. An official transcript is delivered in PDF format and includes the ABU seal and the signature of the Registrar. An official transcript is often required of entities who desire assurances of authenticity and accuracy of enrollment, course, and degree information. Most official transcripts are delivered electronically to safeguard against any tampering with the records. An unofficial transcript may be obtained through Campus Cafe. There are content differences between an unofficial and an official transcript. The unofficial transcript is a means for students to review their enrollment and degree information. Students are encouraged to review the information for accuracy and report any concerns to the Registrar.
FERPA
ABU maintains student records in accordance with the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), which affords students the right to inspect and review their educational records, the right to seek to have the records amended, and the right to have some control over the disclosure of information from the records.
