The student may obtain a copy of their transcript from the University Registrar's Office. The student is responsible for verifying all information contained on the transcript. If the student fails to notify the Law School Registrar of a transcript error, serious difficulties might ensue. For example, when the transcript shows the student as registered for a certain course for which the student takes no examination or fails to hand in a paper because of their belief that the course was dropped, a failing grade would be entered on the student's transcript for that course. Similarly, a student would not receive a grade for a course that does not appear on their transcript even though they have taken the examination or submitted a paper in that course. Whenever an error occurs on a transcript, the student should request an updated transcript showing the error has been corrected.
Undergraduate Transcript Verification Policy
As part of the admissions process, the Office of Admissions & Financial Aid reminds admitted students throughout the summer before matriculation that a final official undergraduate transcript must be in their law school file before the first day of class.
Students who have not submitted their transcript by the first day of class will receive reminder notifications from the Registrar’s Office every week beginning in the first week of class. They will also receive a personal notification from the Vice Dean via email in the second week of September and the first week of October informing them that they have not submitted the required form. The letter will further advise them that they will be administratively withdrawn from the class if they fail to provide a final and official undergraduate transcript by October 15. On October 15, the Registrar will administratively withdraw all students who have not submitted a final official undergraduate transcript.
In extraordinary circumstances, approved by the Vice Dean in consultation with the Assistant Dean of Students, the Law School may grant a limited extension of time to a student who, through no fault of their own, has not submitted a final official undergraduate transcript by October 15. The circumstances will be documented and recorded in a file maintained in the office of the Vice Dean.
