HECUA Transcripts

Member-college students: An official HECUA grade report is sent directly to your college registrar. The registrar transfers your grades onto your official transcript per your prior arrangements with the institution.

Non-member-college students: HECUA registers all non-member students through Hamline University, which serves as the host college for registration purposes only. HECUA submits an official grade report directly to the Hamline Registrar's office where it is transferred onto an official Hamline University transcript. In order for these credits and grades to be transferred to your home institution, you must submit a written and signed request to the Hamline Registrar for a copy of your official transcript to be sent to your home college registrar. Send to Office of the Registrar, College of Liberal Arts, Hamline University, 1536 Hewitt Ave., St. Paul, MN 55104-1284. Enclose $5.00 to cover the fee for each official transcript request, payable to Hamline University. In your written request, be sure to indicate the HECUA program and term in which you participated, your social security number (for quick and accurate computer access to your records), the number of transcripts requested ($5.00 for each), and the address to which transcripts should be sent. These instructions will be sent to you again at the end of the program.

Transcripts will be withheld by HECUA for students that have an outstanding bill (tuition, airfare, readings, etc). The transcript will not be released until the bill has been paid in full or a payment plan has been arranged.
