Office of the Registrar

The Office of the Registrar monitors students' academic progress at Concordia. Questions relating to advisors, graduation requirements, registration, grades and credits, for example, can be answered there. This office, located in Lorentzsen Hall, is responsible for registration procedures, including summer registration, assigning advisors and counseling students on course selection. The office evaluates the transcripts of transfer students and determines the number of credits that will transfer and their applicability toward graduation requirements.

The Office of the Registrar will provide information on examinations, both for placement at Concordia and for graduate study, including Advanced Placement (AP), the College Level Examination Program (CLEP), the Graduate Record Examination (GRE), Law School Admission Test (LSAT) and the Medical College Admissions Test (MCAT).

The Office of the Registrar also provides official copies of transcripts at $2 per copy.
