Grades and Records Transcripts Transcript Requests Transcript requests should be addressed to the Office of the Registrar of the University of Maryland University College (Europe, Asia, Adelphi) where the student was most recently enrolled. Requests may be by mail or fax. Permanent academic records of students who have left UMUC-Europe and have not enrolled elsewhere within UMUC are maintained by UMUC- Europe. Unless the student has subsequently enrolled in another unit of UMUC, all transcript requests should be sent to the Office of the Registrar in Heidelberg. Transcript requests should include the following information: • Student’s full name. • Social Security number. • Names of all units of the University of Maryland University College attended. • The first and last dates of attendance. Transcripts should be requested at least two weeks before they actually will be needed. Forms for requesting transcripts are available at education centers and at www.ed.umuc.edu/undergrad/services/transcripts/ tranformfax.html. For additional information, e-mail edtranscripts@ed.umuc.edu. Confidentiality A transcript is an official record of a student’s work. All academic records are confidential. Fees When students graduate, they are issued one official transcript free of charge. All other transcript requests should be accompanied by payment of $5 for each transcript requested. There is no charge for sending a transcript to another institution in the University System of Maryland. Rush transcripts which are processed within 24 hours of receipt may be requested. The cost of each rush transcript is $20. No transcript will be released until all financial obligations to UMUC have been satisfied. 22 Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) Under the provisions of the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 (FERPA), students have the right to inspect and seek correction to their educational records. Requests for such inspection and correction of student records may be made to: University of Maryland University College Office of the Registrar Unit 29216 APO AE 09102 In addition, most institutional information concerning students may not be released to third parties without the prior consent of the students themselves. The only student information which may be released without prior consent is directory information: the student’s name, major field of study, dates of attendance, degrees/awards received, the previous educational institution most recently attended, and birth date. This information is disclosed even in the absence of consent unless the student files written notice within three weeks of the term in which the student begins each school year. To prevent automatic disclosure of directory information, this notice must be filed annually to the Registrar within the time allotted above. A record of all disclosures of a student’s educational record is maintained, except for those made to the students themselves, made at the written request of the student, made to USM instructional or administrative officials, or directory information disclosures. See Appendix E for additional information about FERPA. Name Change Requests for a name change on official records of UMUC must be accompanied by one of the following documents: • Copy of a court order. • Copy of a marriage certificate. • Statement from a legal officer certifying the name change. The request, which can be made by letter or by a completed Change of Name Notification form (UMRS-046) available from the local field representative, should be mailed with the appropriate document to the Office of the Registrar. To ensure accurate and complete student records, a student must continue to register under his or her former name until the request and documentation have been forwarded and processed. 2004-2005 Undergraduate Catalog
Diplomas and Graduation UMUC awards certificates and degrees in August, December, and May of each academic year. Commencement ceremonies in May recognize AA, BA, and BS candidates who have earned their degrees in any of the three degree periods. To be eligible to march at Commencement, May degree candidates must be able to demonstrate that they will complete all degree requirements by the time of the ceremony. Diploma Application Deadlines Students expecting to complete requirements for a degree must submit a Diploma Application form with the $50 diploma application fee to: University of Maryland University College Office of the Registrar Unit 29216 APO AE 09102 Diploma applications are available from the field representative, by writing to the Office of the Registrar, or at www.ed.umuc.edu/ undergrad/services/undergrad_diploma_app_2003.pdf. Associate Degree: A student within 9 s.h. of completing requirements for the Associate of Arts degree may file a Diploma Application. Bachelor’s Degree: A student within 15 s.h. of completing requirements for a Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor of Science degree may file a Diploma Application. The completed Diploma Application should be returned in accordance with the following schedule: Expected Graduation Application Deadline December 1 October May 15 February August 15 May Students whose Diploma Applications are received after these deadlines will be considered for the next scheduled graduation. Graduation Review A graduation review will be prepared for each associate and baccalaureate degree candidate. This review confirms remaining degree requirements. If the remaining requirements include incompletes to be removed, courses to be transferred from other institutions, credit by examination, or military credit, the student must ensure this work is completed and official documentation reaches the University of Maryland University College, Office of Graduation Services, Unit 29216, APO AE 09102, no later than the expected graduation date. Diplomas and Graduation Noncompletion of Degree Requirements Students who do not complete degree requirements in time for the graduation date specified on their Diploma Application must submit a new Diploma Application and a $50 diploma application fee. Students will be informed of remaining degree requirements. Issuance of Diplomas, Official Transcripts, and Certificates of Completion All AA, BA, and BS graduates can expect to receive their diplomas along with a certificate of completion and a complimentary transcript with their degree posted by mail from the Office of the Registrar approximately four weeks after the graduation date. Degrees are posted only three times per academic year. The degree will not be posted on the transcript issued prior to the degree date even if all requirements have been completed. Students requiring verification of their degree prior to the graduation date may request a letter of completion from the Office of Graduation Services in Heidelberg. Conference Courses Conference courses are exceptional and can only be conducted for a UMUC degree candidate who is within 9 s.h. of completing bachelor’s degree requirements. All three of the following criteria must exist: 1. The student has filed a Diploma Application for the next graduation date (i.e., December, May, or August). 2. The student has a valid reason for needing to complete the degree by that time (e.g., relocation, job offer). 3. The specific course essential for graduation is not available to the student at any location within commuting distance or through any other viable source (i.e., distance education courses, individualized learning courses, or correspondence courses from another regionally accredited school) prior to the proposed graduation date. Permission from the Director, Student Affairs must be requested in writing. Note: Mathematics, statistics, foreign language, and most computer, writing, accounting, and capstone courses require a classroom setting and are not offered as conference courses. 2004-2005 Undergraduate Catalog 23
