Official Document Release from Academic Records
Requesting Academic Transcripts, Enrollment Certifications, or Degree Verifications
Furman University will officially inform interested parties about individual academic records upon appropriate request. The specifics about requesting the release of information appear here for your use. Furman University's student information release policy strictly complies with all federal regulations pursuant to the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act. Since March 2000, the university typically does not charge a fee for this service.
 ACADEMIC TRANSCRIPT
A complete record of academic achievement at Furman. The transcript displays dates of attendance, transfer course & advanced placement summaries, degrees awarded, honors designations, cumulative and term grade point averages. It also shows a term-by-term history of courses enrolled, semester hours awarded, and grades earned. The document is typically required for admission to other higher education institutions and should be considered the definitive source of information about academic accomplishment at the University. The academic transcript may only be released with the specific consent of the student.
