The Office of the Registrar houses official academic records. The student’s permanent academic record may contain the following:
- Name
- Social Security number (partial number since 1980) or numeric identifier
- Chronological summary of LMU coursework and final grades
- Transfer credits, special credits (SC), and credits by examination (CE)
- Degree earned Date(s) and degree conferred
Instructors report final grades to the Registrar at the end of the course. Students receive their grades electronically through Self Service. Any student wishing to receive a printed copy of his/her grades must submit a written request to the Office of the Registrar before the week of final exams.
Electronic transcripts (including course grades) are retained permanently.
To receive due consideration, any challenge regarding the accuracy of a student’s academic record must be submitted in writing by that student to the Registrar within one year of the term in question.
The student may obtain or have forwarded to designated parties’ copies of his/her academic transcript by submitting a written request to the Office of the Registrar. The cost of each physical transcript is $10.00. The fee for electronic transcripts is $6.75. Transcripts requests can be made at the following link: https://www.lmunet.edu/registrar/transcript-requests.
Student Records
Student grades are recorded, stored, and secured with the Lincoln Memorial University Registrar. All other student records will be maintained in the Office of Admissions and Student Services. The privacy of student records is noted under the Family Education Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), 1974, as amended. Requests from students to have their records released must be made in writing. Verification of enrollment will only be made for educational reasons. For instance, verifications will not be made to employers, landlords, or family members. In these cases, the students should use letters of acceptance, transcripts, or receipts of payment. LMU- DCOM students wishing to review their records must call the Office Admissions and Student Services and make an appointment with the Dean of Students or the Director of Admissions.
