Requests through Parchment Credential Services are processed 24/7, provide an immediate electronic transcript, and offer several delivery options. Please refer to their website for timelines. In-person requests will be processed on the spot, provided the student has no holds that would prevent the release of their academic record.

Upon graduation from UA Little Rock, students will receive a voucher for one free transcript order with their diploma.

All other transcript requests are $10 each.

Please refer to our Transcript Request Page or Parchment for more pricing information.

No. Once transcripts from other schools are received, we evaluate them. In this process, they are marked up by our office. Therefore, the transcripts are no longer official and cannot be released by the UA Little Rock Office of Records and Registration.

No. The academic transcript is the official record of classes attempted or taken at UA Little Rock. For this reason, we are unable to remove any courses from your official academic transcript.

Online orders can be tracked by logging in to your Parchment account.

Parchment will send an email when the order is placed and when it has been sent.

They will also send a notification if the transcript cannot be processed. A common reason for this is an academic or financial hold preventing transcript release. These holds can come from Student Accounts, overdue library books, and parking tickets.

Parchment offers overnight and international delivery options for transcripts if there are no holds preventing their release. Please refer to our Transcript Request Page or Parchment for fees.

*Note: Students requesting transcripts before 1983 may not have this option available.

No. Once a request for a transcript has been submitted, there is no way to provide a refund.

This gives the student the option to have the transcript processed and sent to them once final grades have been posted.

Please refer to Parchment for transcript status.

This will hold Final Transcript processing until the student’s degree has been processed.

Typically, diplomas are processed within 4 – 6 weeks after commencement.

The only time you will need to complete the repeat form is when your courses are on hard (paper) copy (not accessible in our electronic database).

Typically, the day after grades are due. Visit the Academic Calendar to learn the specific due dates for your term.

Once your admissions folder is complete and it is sent to the Office of Records and Registration, it normally takes 1-2 working days. Please allow additional processing time during peak times.

Only courses with grades of C or better taken at an institutionally or regionally accredited institution will transfer to UA Little Rock. We do not accept vocational and technical courses, all developmental courses, or continuing education units.

No. Your G.P.A. at your previous college does not transfer to UA Little Rock. Any course that you repeat at UA Little Rock will contribute to your UA Little Rock G.P.A. but will not change the course grade at your previous college.

When a student drops all of their classes, they are only withdrawing from that specific semester.

That student will not have to reapply as long as

(1) They have not attended another institution or

(2) They re-enroll for classes at UA Little Rock within two years.

Students who have not re-enrolled for more than two years after withdrawal will need to reapply.

No. There are no appeals or exceptions for students who are suspended from the university.

If, after two successive terms of academic probation, the student’s current term and cumulative grade point average are both below 2.00, the student will be automatically suspended for one semester (either fall or spring term).

Students who have finished their academic suspension are required to reapply through the Office of Records and Registration.

These students will be re-admitted on academic probation, limited to 13 credit hours per semester while on probation, and placed in a single-semester probation status. This status requires that the student achieve a current term GPA of 2.00 or higher each term until the student’s cumulative GPA is 2.00 or higher.

Failure to achieve a term GPA of 2.00 or higher while in a single-semester probationary status will result in academic suspension for one academic year (two semesters, fall and spring).

There are no appeals or exceptions for students who are suspended from the university.

Students will be removed from academic probation when their cumulative grade point average is 2.00 or above.

Clemency removes from the student’s GPA all grades and credits earned during the semesters (i.e., spring, summer, fall) for which clemency is requested. The student’s complete record will remain on the transcript with the added notation of academic clemency received.

Please refer to the Academic Clemency Policy or our Academic Status page for more information, and if you wish to start the process, please contact your advisor.

The process will take approximately four to six weeks from the date of Commencement. Once all of the diplomas have been printed, your diploma will be mailed to you.

Once the Office of Records and Registration receives the form from the department, it will take 2-3 working days to process. However, during peak times, it may take additional time to process.

The deadlines depend on the specific term and semester that you are looking to register for or drop from. Detailed information about important dates and deadlines is available on the Academic Calendar.

Grades and grade point averages are never released over the telephone or to persons outside the university without the student’s written permission. Student educational records maintained by UA Little Rock fall into two general categories: directory information and student records. Directory information is public information and is open to the public. According to FERPA, directory information can never include race, gender, social security number, grades, GPA, country of citizenship, or religion.

By the “Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974”, we require the student’s signature before releasing non-directory information.
