Transcript Information
The registrar's office at Berry College is responsible for maintaining and producing student transcripts. A transcript is the complete record of a student's enrollment and includes all undergraduate, graduate, and specialist work. Berry College does not produce partial transcripts. There are two types of transcripts, official and unofficial. Official transcripts are printed on special forms with the Berry seal and bear the registrar's signature. They are sent directly from the registrar's office to another school, a governmental agency, or a prospective employer. Official transcripts may be provided to the student for submission to a third party, but they will be placed in sealed envelopes that must show the final destination of the transcript. These will be rendered invalid if the sealed envelope bearing the transcript is opened by the student. Unofficial transcripts do not bear the college seal and they are not signed by the registrar. These are sent to students for their personal use. Currently enrolled students may access their unofficial transcripts at no charge on VikingWeb using their user id and password. Students who were enrolled at Berry Fall 2001 and later may also access unofficial transcripts on VikingWeb. A former student who has forgotten his or her password may contact VikingWeb support.
