Each request must be accompanied by the applicable processing fee (rates were effective July 1, 2004):
        Official transcript: $5 per copy

Send your request and payment to:

Transcripts are processed every Tuesday. Please plan accordingly if you have a deadline. Rush services are an additional $15. Transcripts can be sent via FedEx but FedEx fees and envelopes must be provided by the requestor.

Yes. The Artist's Resource Center (ARC) provides individualized, one-on-one professional development support throughout your career. The ARC also produces artSource, an index of arts-related opportunities and resources, including job listings, grants and residencies, commissions, and exhibitions.

Am I an alum?
The School considers you an alum if you have completed two or more semesters of coursework at the School. If you are an alum but are not receiving artMatters and other alumni publications, please update your address with us.
