Program Faculty Chair Dat Signature e Transcript Release Statement For the purpose of teacher certification, the office of Academic Services and Teacher Certification requires transcripts from all previous graduate and undergraduate work in addition to a final UK transcript indicated the awarded Master’s Degree.  If the coursework did not conclude with a degree, a photocopy will be acceptable provided that the copy is legible and the school name is visible  If you earned a degree from another institution (graduate or undergraduate), you must include an official transcript. In this case, “official” simply means that the transcript is printed on official paper. It is perfectly acceptable if the transcript states “issued to student.” This differs from official transcripts in sealed envelopes as required by the Graduate School for admission.  If coursework was transferred to your UK transcript from any UK related community college, you do not need to include the community college transcript. The grades for those courses will appear on your UK transcript. The Graduate School will not release transcripts from your file.

MIC applicants are requested to submit two official transcripts during the admissions process. In the event we have these transcripts on file and they meet the requirements for certification, we will release these transcripts to you per your request. Please indicate that you would like to have the transcripts released by providing us with the information requested below. We will audit your file for the needed documents and they will be included in your examination packet at the time you take your written comprehensive examination. We will contact you if there are any problems so that you will have time to request official transcripts if necessary.

I wish to have originals or photocopies of the transcripts released to me by the Director of Graduate Studies, Department of Curriculum and Instruction, for the purpose of teacher certification.
