Transcript is an official and confidential document of the academic performance of the student in the institution. It will include courses, contact hours and grades. Also include the degree conferred in the case of graduate students. There are two types of academic transcript: Official and Student Copy
There are two ways to request the transcript:
To apply for readmission: 1. No readmission application will be considered for any students with outstanding debt. 2. Students born in Puerto Rico or United States must submit their birth certificate. 3. Foreign students must submit documentary evidence of legal status (certificate of naturalization or residence). 4. * Special Students should attach an authorization document from their institution of origin to their readmission request. Their course load should not exceed 12 credits; otherwise they must complete additional paperwork at the Admissions Office. 5. For a change of faculty when applying for readmission, you must have approved 24 credits or more. This does not apply to students on academic probation. Transfers to the School of Architecture will be approved depending on availability during the requested quarter. 6. Students who are active in the US military should submit attached orders to be exempted from paying the readmission application fee.
After the application has been evaluated, the student will receive an enrollment notice for two consecutive quarters. If the student does not enroll in this time period, an application for readmission must be filed again. The Summer quarter is optional. Students who have interrupted their studies for a year or more shall be held to the rules, procedures, curriculum and general catalog current at the time the readmission is approved. All documents submitted to establish eligibility for readmission becomes property of the PUPR. Likewise for the readmission fee, which is nonrefundable. Falsifying information submitted in this application may be considered sufficient reason to deny readmission to the Polytechnic University of Puerto Rico (PUPR).
The school is approved by the Puerto Rico State Approving Agency to provide academic training to the students under the various GI Bill® programs.
