Office of the Registrar

Students’ official academic records are maintained in the Registrar’s Office. Transcripts of these records are not furnished to individuals, other institutions or prospective employers without the written consent of the student.

How to Order Transcripts

There are four different ways you can order a transcript:

Secure, Electronic Transcripts:

• Do you need a transcript right away and don’t want to wait for the postal service to deliver mail across the country?
• Are you applying for a job or graduate school, which requires an electronic transcript?

Please note that if you completed dual enrollment credits while in High School, it requires a UMS Student ID# for electronic transcripts. Orders will not be processed without a UMS Student ID# and will be denied by the National Student Clearinghouse for “No Student Record Found”.

The University of Maine at Fort Kent has partnered with the National Student Clearinghouse to provide secure, electronic delivery of official transcripts to an email address anywhere in the world.

The total cost for an electronic transcript is $4.00 per transcript or less if the receiving institution participates in the Electronic Transcript Exchange (ETX), which is payable by credit card when you place your online order.

CAUTION: If you attended the University of Maine at Fort Kent prior to 1990, electronic records will not be available and can only request by mail option. If you respond, “YES” to the question “Did you attend University of Maine at Fort Kent prior to 1990”, the order will remain in the queue and WILL NOT be processed.

• You’ll need to verify with the recipient to be sure that they will accept an electronic transcript.
• You’ll want to send transcripts directly to another college if you’re hoping to be accepted and receive transfer credits.
• Please note that you don’t need to order electronic transcripts for undergraduate admission to other University of Maine System schools. They’re able to access your transcript in MaineStreet as long as you don’t have a hold on your account.

All transcripts sent directly to students will be marked “Issued to Student” and will generally not be considered official. Please indicate if transcripts need to be in a sealed envelope.

Please allow five business days from receipt of transcript request for processing. There is no charge to send a paper transcript.

University policy prohibits issuing official transcripts to any student indebted to the University.

Definitions:

Unofficial transcripts are merely copies of the transcript with no stamp or seal, usually used in-house or by student for personal use.

Official transcripts are transcripts in a sealed envelope that have the Registrar’s signature and the University Seal. The envelope is not to be opened until it reaches its official destination.
