It is recommended that students wait 24 hours after their conferral date to order a transcript to ensure the conferral date has been posted to the transcript.

APUS transcripts do NOT include any of the following information:

• Dropped courses (DP grades)
• Academic Probation
• Academic Suspension
• Notation of any Disciplinary Action
• Retaken course grades for courses that have been retaken after August 2008
  • These course grades will appear as “R” on your transcript but will continue to show as the original grade on your personal academic plan and individual grade reports in your student portal.

Exceptions to APUS Transcript Release Policy

Teachers Summer Workshop

One official transcript will be issued, at no charge, upon request if you are a student who has completed a course that falls under “Teachers’ Summer Workshop,” (for example, HIST680 – Special Topics) without requiring your admission record to be complete if these courses were taken under non-degree-seeking status.
