Graduation Documents
Transcript and Certificate of Completion

Upon successful completion of a course, the student is awarded a transcript and a Certificate of Completion. If a student enrolls in more than one course, the student receives a transcript and a Certificate of Completion upon successful completion of each course. In order to earn a certificate and transcript, a student must obtain a minimum average of 70% in each course.

One official transcript is furnished to the student at the conclusion of the course, at no cost.
For each additional transcript, a fee of $5.00 is charged.

Accuracy of Student Records

The American Academy of Independent Studies complies fully with the Family
Education and Privacy Act of 1974, as amended. This act is designed to protect
the privacy of educational records, to establish the rights of students to inspect
and review their educational records, and to provide guidelines for the correction
of inaccurate or misleading data through informal and formal hearings.

A student who believes that an error has been made in assignment of a grade must
initiate contact with AAIS within 60 days from the date the grade was posted, even if
graduation documents have already been sent to the student. Failure to act within
60 days disqualifies the student from further consideration of the matter.

The student is responsible for reporting any other type of error on the transcript and Certificate of Completion, including correct spelling of the student's name and address. The American Academy of Independent Studies is not liable for unreported errors on student records.
