To Request Transcripts

Alumni

Please fill out the Alumni Transcript Request Form and mail it to our office at the address below. There is a $3 charge for each transcript requested. Once the transcript request form and payment are received, we will process the request. There is no charge for transcripts sent to a state bar. There is no charge to have your transcript sent to Albany Law School's Admissions Office.

Students

Current students may request official transcripts using WebAdvisor or by filling out the appropriate form in the Registrar's Office. Current students are entitled to one free transcript per semester. After that, there is a $3 charge for each transcript. Transcripts will be available for pick up within two business days after submission of the request.

Registration

The Registrar's Office assigns first-year schedules to students. Beginning with the third semester, students select courses in accordance with the guidelines for their specific academic programs. Details of graduation requirements for each program are outlined in the Student Handbook.  

The Registrar's office designates the registration period for each semester and provides students with procedures and deadlines for course selections. Each student must complete a legal ethics course, a professional skills course (beginning with the class of '08), and satisfy the upper class writing assignment to earn a J.D. degree from Albany Law School.
