Students who attended a nonpublic high school that is no longer operating may request a copy of their transcript from the Nonpublic School Approval Branch.

Requests for transcripts must be in writing from the student or the student's parents or guardians. Requests from agencies, employers, and others can be granted only if a signed written statement of authorization accompanies the request.

Expect to receive your transcript within two weeks of receipt of your request. Allow at least 4 weeks to receive transcripts from schools that closed before 1987.

When requesting official transcripts, type or print the following information:

1. Name of school that has ceased operating

2. Full name of the student while attending the school

3. Student's date of birth

4. Requestor's daytime telephone number - complete with area code

5. Name and address to which each transcript is to be mailed

6. The number of transcripts requested.

Mail all requests to Kathleen Lawson, Maryland State Department of Education, Nonpublic School Approval Branch, 200 West Baltimore Street, 6th Floor, Baltimore, MD 21201.

If you wish to speak to someone regarding the issuance of transcripts, you may call (410) 767-0407.
