The Office of the Registrar and Academic Systems maintains the permanent academic records of all students. The office oversees and provides services related to the curriculum, course registration, production of the Course Schedule each term, classroom scheduling, grades, transcripts, transfer credit, enrollment certifications, and diplomas.

For Summer 2026<\/strong>, we are open in Lane 110 for walk-ins Mondays and Thursdays from 9:00am to 3:00pm. We can answer general questions, accept completed forms, and offer other types of general assistance during those hours. We recommend making an appointment if you need more detailed assistance to ensure that the staff member who is best equipped to help you is available when you visit the office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you are requesting that we complete a form or prepare other documentation on your behalf, please be sure to make your request or drop off your paperwork with ample time before your deadline, typically three to five business days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Registrar’s Office inbox and phone line are monitored Monday through Friday from 9:00am to 4:00pm. If you’d like to make an appointment, please reach out by email or phone and include your Bates ID number and a brief description of what you need help with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
