Request an Official Transcript

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 will not be accepted. The issuance of partial transcripts is not permitted.

For information regarding the issuance of transcripts to students indebted to the University, please see Administrative Practice Letter IX-K.

The University of Maine has partnered with Parchment to provide secure delivery of official transcripts in both electronic and paper formats. These options offer the ability to track the status of your request.
