Introduction

We want to be sure we are processing requests in the most efficient way possible and assist the largest number of students possible.

Please direct your requests as noted below and follow the procedures outlined. This is the most efficient way to obtain assistance. Please know that contacting multiple parties or those outside of these processes does not expedite the request or cause urgency, it takes time and focus away from helping students (as the groups noted below are the only ones able to assist with the requests noted).

Transcript requests for Alumni and former students

IMPORTANT NOTICE: Due to current orders issued by federal, state and local authorities related to the evolving COVID-19 situation, there will be a delay in processing transcript orders. We continue to work diligently and will process requests as expeditiously as possible.

The Arts Institutes International, LLC, is now providing transcript services for the closed Ai Campuses. To place an order, click on the link below. The registrar will provide Official Transcripts only. There is a $15 charge per transcript for this service and only credit card payment is accepted.
