Grades & Transcripts

Books on shelf. Text says: Courses & Transcripts

Below are the different procedures for how grades are posted based on your program. Contact the UMD Study Abroad office with further questions.

UMD & Affiliate (semester & short-term programs)

To ensure timely posting of grades following your study abroad program, confirm these two steps:

  1. Your courses abroad have been reviewed via an Academic Planning Form.
  2. The foreign institution/program provider issues an official transcript to the UMD Study Abroad office:

               UMD Study Abroad
               University of Minnesota Duluth
               138 Kirby Plaza, 1208 Kirby Drive
               Duluth, MN 55812
               USA

Once the official transcript is received, the Study Abroad office will process and send the documents to the UMD Office of the Registrar for posting to your UMD transcript. The foreign course title, equivalent credits, and equivalent grade will be listed on your UMD transcript with a notation of where you studied abroad and if courses were taught in another language.

UMD Faculty-led Programs

After you complete your program, the program leader(s) will post your grade to your UMD transcript. You do not need to complete an Academic Planning Form.

UMN System Programs 

In most cases, the coordinate campus (Twin Cities, Crookston, or Morris) offering your program will post your grades. Note: Courses must be reviewed and approved at UMD, not at the coordinate campus.

UMD Study Abroad Programs

Transcripts are automatically sent to the UMD Study Abroad office for most programs. Make sure you are aware of this process for your specific program. If you need to complete a request for your transcript, have your transcript sent to the UMD Study Abroad office at:

     UMD Study Abroad
     University of Minnesota Duluth
     138 Kirby Plaza
     1208 Kirby Drive
     Duluth, MN 55812
     USA

Note: Upon receipt of your transcript, our office will send the official copy to the Registrar. If you want a copy of your official study abroad transcript, it is your responsibility to request an additional copy from your host university or program provider. If you do not mind having a scanned copy of the original, contact our office.
