A transcript is an official record of a student's work. All academic records are confidential. Therefore, UMUC Asia must have a request signed by the student before transcripts are released. Forms for requesting transcripts are available at education centers, and on this Web site (see link). The transcript fee should accompany each request. Requests for transcripts should be sent to the last University of Maryland University College division attended.

• Transcript Request Form (PDF 35K)
  This form can be filled out in Adobe Acrobat. Then print, sign, and mail to the address on the form.

In accordance with the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), transcripts can be released only upon the request of the student. Transcript requests made by spouses, parents, or other family members, or by other agencies on behalf of the student, cannot be honored. All transcript requests must be in writing; requests made by telephone cannot be honored. UMUC Asia will accept transcript requests submitted by fax, but cannot guarantee that these requests will receive greater priority than those received at the same time by mail. Transcript requests made by e-mail will be honored when the transcript is to be sent to a third party. UMUC Asia will send transcripts by fax or express mail upon a student's written request, and payment of an additional fee.

When students graduate, they receive a complimentary copy of their UMUC transcript with their diploma. The fee for all other transcripts is $5.00 each, and a postal money order or check for the correct amount must accompany the written request. Checks must be completed in blue or black ink, to accommodate bank check scanners. Transcripts sent via express mail or fax are available for $20.00 each.

Under the provisions of the Federal Family Educational Rightsand Privacy Act of 1974 (Buckley Amendment), students have the right to inspect and review their educational records. Request for such inspection and review of student records in the Yokota Office of UMUC Asia may be made to:

Registrar
UMUC Asia
Unit 5060, Box 0100
APO AP 96328-0100

In addition, most institutional information concerning students may not be released to third parties without the explicit approval of the students themselves. Parents and spouses cannot request transcripts for students, nor can they request information about a student’s official evaluation. The only student information which may be released without prior consent is directory information such as the student’s name, major field of study, dates of attendance, degrees and awards received, and previous educational institution most recently attended. Any student who does not wish this information released must submit a written statement to that effect to the Registrar.

This request should be made before the end of the second week of classes of the term in which the request is to take effect, and thereafter on an annual basis. Students should be aware that such a request, while it remains in effect, will prevent the release of all the above information.
