The Registrar’s Office is responsible for maintenance of grades and transcripts; coordination of the academic calendars and registration schedule; interpretation, implementation and compliance with policies and procedures related to academic record-keeping as well as providing accurate individual and aggregate data to internal and external constituencies. The Registrar’s Office can be reached via email or by calling 479-308-2200.
Upon written request to the Registrar’s Office, a current or former ACHE student or graduate may request a transcript. ACHE reserves the right to deny the release of any transcript for reasons including but not limited to administrative holds and/or not returning ACHE and/or ACHE issued items as requested.
Transcripts from previous institutions attended and other documents submitted during the admissions process to ACHE are the property of ACHE and will not be returned to the student or forwarded to a third party.
Official transcripts are printed on ACHE security paper in partial color with Registrar’s signature, date, and official ACHE seal. Any official transcript request must include the name and address of the person/institution to whom the official transcript is to be sent.
An enrolled student or former ACHE student with no administrative holds may request an official transcript be sent to a third party. Official transcripts are sent directly to the third party as directed by the student (e.g., scholarship agency, residency program, licensure board, etc.). The Registrar’s Office reserves the right to verify the agency or address where the transcript is to be sent.
Official transcripts and other formal documents are permanent and may not be amended after graduation.
Current students may download the linked form, complete, and email to registrar@achehealth.edu to pick up a transcript in person or have it sent via standard mail.
The Registrar’s Office only produces and sends official transcripts. It does not issue unofficial transcripts to students or agencies. Students have 24/7 access to unofficial transcripts on ACHE Connect Self Service.
To Request a Letter of Recommendation from current staff or faculty a release/request must be completed. Please note the “Release to Discuss” information, as it relates to FERPA.
