The registrar will furnish transcripts of credits to a student upon written request. Transcripts are furnished to students' parents or guardians or other parties or institutions only if students have filed written consent with the Registrar's Office. There is a charge per transcript.

Students transferring to another University of Missouri campus may ask the UMSt. Louis registrar to furnish a transcript to the office of admissions at the other UM campus.

Requests for transcripts by organizations either financially supporting a student or with fee compensation programs are not honored unless the student has filed a consent form with the Registrar's Office authorizing the release of such information.

Transcripts are not issued to or for students who have financial obligations to the university until those obligations are paid in full.

Commencement
Degrees are conferred at commencement with candidates present for the awarding of diplomas. Only in unusual circumstances may degrees be conferred in absentia.

Veteran Affairs
The Veteran Affairs Office, 232 Woods Hall, serves as liaison to various government offices to provide information on educational benefits, privileges, and responsibilities relating to Veteran Administration benefits. A certifying official is available to answer veterans' questions and process official paperwork.

Veterans are certified to the Veteran Affairs Regional Office beginning with the date of initial registration, and regularly until the expected completion date of the VA-approved program or degree. Veteran students must promptly inform the certifying official in 232 Woods of any changes in status which might affect benefits. Failure to report such changes can result in overpayments and other complications in receipt of benefits.

Veteran students are expected to attend classes, perform academic duties as assigned by instructors, and adhere to academic policies. Failure to do so will result in reports to the VA of unsatisfactory progress, which may result in discontinuance of benefits. Veteran students who cease attending, but do not officially withdraw from class or from the university, will be reported as not making satisfactory progress.

If enrollment status is altered in any way, the VA will be notified and an overpayment may be charged against the veteran.  For complete details and information, contact the Veteran Affairs Office at 516-5676.
