Release of Information
When a transcript is received by an organization, it cannot be released to another person, agency or organization except to officials internal to your own organization or agency who have a reasonable business use for the information. Release to other parties requires written consent of the student. For more information on student record privacy, please visit the Family Educational Rights and Privacy.
Authenticity
A transcript is official when it bears the signature of the Registrar on officially printed paper or an electronic version that is sent directly from the institution to the recipient. Transcripts that are provided directly to students are marked “Issued to Student.” Partial or incomplete transcripts are not issued except upon request and only issued by student level (Undergraduate, Graduate, Law, Medicine, or Veterinary Medicine). Those transcripts are labeled “Partial Transcript.”
Please contact the Nuremberg Schule Registrar’s office if clarification is needed.

Grade-Point Average
Grade-Point Average is based upon a scale of 4.0 = A. Transcript totals display following all itemized credit entries for each level on the transcript. The Total Institution GPA is based on all term credit.
The Overall GPA earned includes all applicable traditional and nontraditional term credit, transfer, and test-based credit.
The Total Transfer GPA is based on all finalized credit that has been accepted.
Beginning with the Fall Semester 1996, the University changed the grade point designation from A = 5.0 to A = 4.0. The change was applied retroactively to all students enrolled since the Fall Semester of 1982. All averages shown on the transcript are computed on a 4.0 scale regardless of when the credit was earned.
College of Engineering Only
Prior to Fall 1996, grades of B+ (3.5) and C+ (2.5) were used. Beginning with the Fall Semester 1996 the law grades are the same as those in the other colleges.
