Transcripts

Attention Academic Partnership students – If you are in the Academic Partnership Program, please check your unofficial transcript to make sure your grade has posted before ordering an official transcript. If ordered before grades have been posted, your transcript will not show the grade, and it will be your responsibility to order and pay for another transcript once grades have officially posted. Due to the nature of the course schedule, Academic Partnership students should not select the hold for grades option. If you select the hold for degree option, your transcript will be mailed the week after graduation.

Educational Records and Student Rights

The following information concerning student records maintained by Lamar University are published in compliance with the Family Education Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 (FERPA) as amended (PL93-380).

Access to Records

Access to educational records directly related to a student will be granted to him or her unless the type of record is exempt from the provision of the law. The types, locations and names of custodians of educational records maintained by the University are available from the Registrar. Access to records by persons other than the student will be limited to those persons and agencies specified in the statute. Records will be maintained of persons granted such access and the legitimate interest in each case.

Parental Access

The right of parental access to student records may be established by either of two methods: first, by the student filing a written consent statement and, second, by the parent validating the student's dependence as defined by the Internal Revenue Service.

A student has the right to file a complaint with the U.S. Department of Education concerning alleged failures by Lamar University to comply with the requirements of FERPA.
