Transcript Requests


HUC-JIR TRANSCRIPT FROM 2008:

The transcript is the complete record of all academic work attempted at HUC-JIR, regardless of the academic program, as a degree-seeking student or a non-degree student. The HUC-JIR does not provide official transcripts which segregate individual courses, schools, or terms, or which reflect only study at one level. 

Official transcripts bear the University seal and the registrar’s signature and are provided directly to individuals, schools, or organizations with a signed release of the student. 

The Registrar does not provide unofficial transcripts or other unofficial documents. Current students who want a simple listing of their Academic Course History should use the Student Information System. 

Academic Records of Deceased Students 

A student’s Family Education Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) rights expire with the student’s death. Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of Religion will not release a deceased student’s records for a period of 25 years after the date of the death unless required to do so by law or authorized to do so by (1) the executor of the deceased’s estate, or (2) the deceased student’s spouse, parents, or children. Documentary proof of the student’s death (e.g., death certificate) is required, along with a full explanation for the request, attached to an Official Transcript Request. All requests should be sent to: Registrar, Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of Religion, 3101 Clifton Avenue, Cincinnati, OH 45220. The registrar will also decide whether other legal or policy implications affect the release of the records.
