Registrar and transcripts

Registrar

The Registrar’s Office maintains students’ academic records and documents. We have an open-door policy, but appointments may be required during busy times.

Transcript requests

To request a transcript, follow the directions for your program:

Geisinger’s Associate Degree in Nursing (ADN) Program:

The Registrar’s Office mails academic transcripts upon written authorization from the student. There is no fee for currently attending students. A fee of $5 is charged to students no longer attending or who have graduated for each transcript requested. Although we attempt to process transcript orders within 3 working days of their receipt in our office, during peak times it may take longer. Be sure to allow sufficient time for your request. For more information, call 570-504-9668.

Until such time as we are advised how this impacts FERPA legislation, we are unable to honor transcript requests by email.
