FOR ADVISORS’ INFORMATION: New Release of UIC Transcripts Policy
Important New Update on UIC Transcript Policies:
UIC will no longer be withholding a student's official transcript from students with outstanding balances. This changes the prior UIC release of transcripts policy that prohibited students with balances from having transcripts released.
The revocation of the prior policy will enable students to transfer credits, complete their degree, and obtain jobs that could help pay down their unpaid balance.
Current students with outstanding balances will continue to be prohibited from registering unless they pay in full or fulfill the terms of their payment plan.
For reference, you can review the Illinois General Assembly SB3032 that was recently passed, which outlines the requirements for the release of a student's unofficial and official transcript. It is important to note that UIC's policy is to release the official student transcript whereas other Illinois institutions may release an unofficial transcript.
