Student Record Disclosure

The student admission record is subject to disclosure under defined conditions:

Within the Institution: Specific academic and administrative departments within the college are aware to this information as needed.

Access to Records

Students of legal age have the right to access their student records under the stipulations set forth below:

  • Examination of Records: Aquinas College students are permitted to examine and review their student records, provided a college authority is present to guide the students through the process.
  • Official Transcripts: Official transcripts, bearing the college’s seal, are issued by the College Official Authority upon request from graduated students. The college reserves the right to charge a fee to cover printing expenses.
  • Unofficial Transcripts: Unofficial transcripts or records of grades are available upon request from students, without the official seal of the college, and are marked with the watermark “Unofficial.”

 

Confidentiality of Student Files / Records

  • Student files/records will only be released to the students concerned.
  • Third-party access will only be released with the written authorization of the concerned student.
  • Legal authority (Government or Police) access will only be released providing a formal written request and approval by the College board.

 

Retention of the Student Records

Please note that Aquinas College will retain Official Transcripts indefinitely for long-term reference. However, the original documents which serve as the source of your academic history will be stored after a period of five years following your final day at the college, after which they will be discarded.

Students hold the responsibility to verify the accuracy of their records within the initial three months subsequent to the issuance of their Official Transcript.

It is important for students to be aware that their comprehensive academic history will be eliminated from our records after a duration of five years following their last day at the college. Only the Official Transcripts will be preserved beyond this point.
