Office of the University Registrar

 The Office of the University Registrar (formerly known as the Office of Student Records)  maintains the academic records of all Washington University students and is the principal custodian of the University’s Student Information System. The student record data maintained by the University is highly confidential. Access to this information is defined in accordance with the Federal Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) and University policy. Administrative access to student data is managed by the Director of the Office of the University Registrar.

Located in the Women’s Building, the Office provides all fundamental University Registrar services for Danforth Campus students including academic transcripts, diplomas, the verification of enrollment and degrees, and the provision of Student ID Cards. Similar services for students and alumni of the School of Medicine are available through the Registrar’s Office at the Medical School.

The academic programs of study at Washington University are administered by seven schools: Arts & Sciences, the John M. Olin School of Business, the Sam Fox School of Design & Visual Arts, Engineering & Applied Science, Law, Medicine, and Social Work. Within the schools are various divisions of undergraduate and graduate study. The "day school" divisions at WU represent traditional full-time programs. Evening and part-time divisions are offered in the schools of Arts & Sciences (the University College), Business, Design & Visual Arts, and Engineering & Applied Science. Enrollment and statistical reporting at the University typically reflects these divisions.
