Sending Confidential Documents to the Registrar's Office
The Registrar’s Office is committed to protecting the security of student data and information. To ensure we are meeting this goal, we have developed policies around how information can be transmitted to and from our office.
The Registrar’s Office does not accept sensitive and personally identifiable information via email. If you have the need to submit forms, documents, and other information that contains this type of information, you may do so using the web-based secure file sharing application called Liquid Files.

For your protection, we do not accept documents containing this information via email. If you have questions or need help, please contact our office at (828) 262-2050, otherwise, scroll down to view instructions on using Liquid Files.
