How to Order an Official Transcript
There are several ways to request a copy of your transcript:
- In MaineStreet
Current and recently active students may request an official transcript through the Student Center in MaineStreet by selecting "Official Transcript" in the "other academic..." drop down box shown under the "Academics" area. This is the preferred method of requesting an offical transcript. The benefits of requesting an offical transcript through Mainestreet are:
- No signature is required
- Faster processing
- Requests can be made at any time of day, 7 days a week.
- No postage required
- No need to hassle with a fax machine.
- No more waiting in line.
- In Person
Visit our office at 100 Wingate Hall with photo identification to obtain copies of your transcript.
- By Mail or FAX
You can use our downloadable transcript request form (PDF) (requires the use of Adobe Acrobat Reader) which you print, fill out, and SIGN
or
You can send us a written request that includes the following information:
- Full Name (please include your maiden name, if applicable, or any other name used while attending the University)
- Student ID
- Email address or Daytime Telephone Number in the event we need to contact you.
- Dates of Attendance
- A Complete Address to Send the Transcript to
- Signature and Date
The completed transcript request form or written request can be mailed to: University of Maine, Office of Student Records, 5781 Wingate Hall, Orono , ME 04469 -5781 or it can be faxed to: 207-581-1314.
Additional information about transcript ordering
The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 requires that all transcript requests received by mail or fax be signed and dated by the person to whom the record belongs. Note that transcript requests placed from MaineStreet DO NOT require a signature. Telephone and e-mail requests CANNOT be accepted. There is no fee for transcripts, but there is a limit of ten transcripts per request. (The Office of
Student Records reserves the right to limit unreasonable requests.)
Upon receipt of the request, official transcripts are normally mailed within three business days. Processing of your official transcript request may vary due to circumstances beyond our control. The Office of Student Records makes every effort to speed these important documents to your intended recipients.
Official transcripts cannot be faxed; however, we can fax your unofficial transcript, but still require a written transcript request. In lieu of a mailing address, please provide a return fax number. Current and recent UMaine students may create their own un-official transcripts in Mainestreet.
Name Changes: To change the name on your academic record, you must present to the Office of Student Records a copy of your signed social security card indicating your current name.
Please Note: University policy prohibits issuing transcripts (official or unofficial) to any student indebted to the University. The issuance of partial transcripts is also strictly prohibited.
