What happens to North Carolina non-public school student academic records, transcripts, etc. when the school terminates its operation?
North Carolina non-public school law does not address this topic. Neither DNPE nor the North Carolina Archives and Records Section of state government in Raleigh keep individual non-public school student records. When a non-public school terminates operation, it forwards all original student academic records directly to the next conventional schools where the students will be attending. However, academic records for those students issued high school diplomas from the school (as well as present grade 9-12 students next going into a home school setting) are kept together as a group indefinitely. The school’s graduates are then able to later obtain high school transcripts when requested. The school then usually notifies DNPE where the high school transcripts and academic records for its graduates will be retained along with an address, telephone number and contact person. This information is then entered permanently into the school’s file at DNPE. Graduates from terminated schools seeking
