Grades for Free
Effective July 1, Colby no longer requires students and alumni to pay for transcripts, Registrar George Coleman says.
Coleman says the $1 fee for processing extra transcripts--the first copy always was free--has been in place for more than 30 years. "For all I know we're the last place in the universe charging that amount," he said. "Many colleges charge five dollars; a number charge nothing."
Persons requesting transcripts that require overnight shipping, faxing or other special postage will be charged for those costs, Coleman says.
Because of confidentiality concerns, transcript requests must be submitted in writing; faxes are acceptable if they are signed. The Registrar's fax number is 207-872-3076 and the phone number is 207-872-3197. Questions or correspondence other than transcript requests may be sent via e-mail to registr@colby.edu.
