Student Academic Record & Letters of Good Standing
Student grades are recorded, stored, and secured with the Lincoln Memorial University Registrar. For further information about obtaining official transcripts, please call the Registrar’s office at 423-869-6292.
The DVM program uses a pass/no-pass grading system. Detailed academic performance data—including class rank and percentage-based performance indicators—are maintained electronically by the Office of the Associate Dean of Academic Affairs and may be requested, when needed, for scholarships or post-graduate opportunities. Requests from students to have their academic record released must be made in writing via email to the Office of the Associate Dean of Academic Affairs. Any LMU-OPCVM students wishing to review their academic record must make an appointment with the Associate Dean of Academic Affairs.
Students may request a letter of good standing from the Associate Dean of Academic Affair’s office via email. Academic status is based on the grades last recorded with the registrar. LMU-OPCVM records grades with the registrar at the completion of each semester and final semester grades are used to determine academic standing.
Verification of enrollment will only be made for educational reasons. LMU-OPCVM will not provide verifications to employers or landlords. For non-academic situations, the students should use letters of acceptance, transcripts, or receipts of payment.
Student Right to Privacy of Education Records
The University complies with the provisions of the Family Education Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), 1974, as amended. This law maintains that the institution will provide for the confidentiality of veterinary student education records. Please see the Railsplitters Community Standards Guide for more details by visiting online at https://www.lmunet.edu/student-life/handbooks.
Students can access their student information by using their Web Advisor account. Each student is given a PIN number to access the following information: schedule, transcript, financial records and financial aid. This information will remain confidential as long as students secure their PIN numbers.
Lincoln Memorial University maintains a list of all persons, except other college officials, who have received a copy of the veterinary student's education record.
