Confidentiality of student information is an important and sensitive issue. It is important for parents to understand that the College is bound by law to respect the privacy of our students if they are 18 years of age or older. This means that grades, progress reports, transcripts and all personal information are kept confidential. Parents of students who are of minor age, 16 or 17 for instance may, upon written request wherein the identity of the parent has been verified and confirmed, request such information. In the latter case, the student should be advised that a parent has made such a request.

Transcripts & Letters of Attendance

Present and former students can request transcripts and other documents.
Applicable fees must be paid before your request is complete. Currently registered students should request documents via the Omnivox portal. Click here to request information.

Informal carpooling:

• Offering a ride not only can reduce your costs but it will help diminish your carbon footprint.

Formal Carpooling:

• There are a limited number of carpool tags available for purchase at a cost of $200 per year.
• Carpool tags will be allocated on a first-come-first-served basis.
• Carpool tags allow the carpool group to park in one of the 11 designated carpool parking spots on campus.
