REQUEST A TRANSCRIPT
A transcript is an official record listing all courses taken throughout a student’s tenure at Bard College Berlin, the grades and credits earned for those courses and a final GPA.
Students may request transcripts from the Registrar’s Office. Requests will be processed as quickly as possible. Please allow at least five working days to process a request; extra time may be necessary during peak periods (e.g. end of semester, registration, etc.). Bard College Berlin charges a fee of €4 for transcripts to destinations outside of Germany and €2 for transcripts to destinations within Germany. Transcripts that are picked up from the Registrar's Office are free of charge and will be stamped “Issued to the Student”
To request a transcript students should fill out a Transcript Request Form (linked below).
Official transcripts can only be picked-up in person or sent via mail in paper form. Unofficial transcripts can be sent in digital form, but will not have the Registrar's signature or official stamp, and will say "UNOFFICIAL TRANSCRIPT" at the top.
Official transcripts will not be issued to anyone whose financial obligations to Bard College Berlin have not been met. Current students also cannot obtain a transcript if there is an administrative hold on their student account.
