What is a Transcript?

Your academic transcript is the record of all activity related to your academic coursework at the University of Southern Maine. This record includes a complete list of the courses you registered for, the grades and credits you earned, your major, transfer credits, and any certificates and degrees that you have received. Official transcripts also include the seal of the university and the signature of the Registrar.

The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 (FERPA) requires that all transcript requests be authorized by the person to whom the record belongs, either in writing or by a secured electronic authorization. Requests by telephone cannot be accepted.

I have an outstanding balance, can I still order a transcript?

Under Maine law, the University must provide current and former students their official transcript or diploma upon request, regardless of a past due balance or debt owed to the institution. Students with a record hold due to a past due balance should contact the Student Accounts Office to request a temporary removal of the hold so the student can then request their official record(s) through the University Registrar’s Office or available self-service options. Those with past due balances of $2,500 or more must enter into a payment plan before the hold is temporarily removed and their record(s) can be requested. For more information please contact Financial Services at 207-780-5250
