Transcripts and Student Records

Request a copy of a student record.

Fairfax County Public Schools (FCPS) maintains student records in compliance with laws of both the Commonwealth of Virginia and the federal government. Primary guidance for the handling of scholastic records is from the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), the federal law designed to protect the privacy of a student’s scholastic records. All public schools, including FCPS, are covered by FERPA.

Where are the student records after a student leaves FCPS?

  1. School Registrar - Student records remain at the school for the first 5 years.
  2. Records Center - Student records are transferred to the FCPS Records Center for processing and archiving after 5 years. 

General Education Diploma (GED)

Virginia of Department of Education (VDOE) no longer accepts paper, phone, fax or email requests for the fulfillment of GED credentials. GED test takers who earned a credential can order duplicate copies of transcripts and official Virginia GED certificates online at the GED Credentialing website.
