Ordering a Transcript from a Closed School in Washington state
Licensed private career schools are required to maintain student transcripts for a period of 50 years. If a closed school chooses not to maintain these records, the school forwards them to Washington's Workforce Board for safekeeping. The Board makes transcripts available to former students at no charge.

To request a copy of your transcript from a closed school, complete and sign the Transcript Request Form and mail or FAX the form to the Workforce Board.

Transcript requests will not be accepted via telephone or email.

Although we make every effort to retrieve student records of closed schools, some records were never sent and some are incomplete.  We will send you all of the information we have on file for you.

We will process your request as quickly as possible. Your request will be processed within 10 business days (excluding weekends and holidays) from our receipt.
