Teach-out Information

  • Last Updated 6/28/2024

    Goddard College has a digital credential library with Parchment for alumnx & former students to request copies of their official transcript. As the college closes please make note of the following frequently asked questions regarding academic records. The Registrar's Office will make every effort to keep this information updated as more details are finalized.

    Prescott College will be the custodian of Goddard College academic records and will be able to issue Goddard transcripts or transcript letters from 1974-2024. As a member of the Association of Vermont Independent Colleges (AVIC) prior to the college’s closure, these arrangements are in compliance with AVIC’s Records & Retention policy.

    IMPORTANT NOTE: questions regarding transcript requests should go to Goddard College, registrar@goddard.edu. Please do not contact Prescott College regarding requests until this webpage is updated and Goddard College closes.

    Goddard’s transcripts and transcript letters over the decades have varied in style & content and can include narrative evaluations, enrollment information, degree conferral (where applicable), and internship paperwork (where applicable). At this time, the Registrar's Office does not have the staff to recreate previously written records. All transcripts issued via the Parchment storefront are considered official and final.
