Transcripts

Grades for concurrent courses are recorded only at UCR University Extension. They are not automatically transferred to the UC Riverside Registrar. Transcripts must be requested electronically or in person. They are available for a fee of $13 per copy. There is an additional $7 rush fee for transcripts produced while you wait. For more information, visit the transcripts page.

Grades

Grading opens on Monday of the 10th week of each term. Grades are due by midnight on the Tuesday after finals week for fall, winter, and spring quarters. University Extension will begin soliciting grades only after each term's grading deadline passes.

Instructors should utilize iGrade to post final grades under the “View Extension Students” tab. Instructors should contact University Extension’s Student Services office at (951) 827-4105 if they do not see a Concurrent Enrollment student listed on the Extension tab. Concurrent Enrollment students will not appear on the regular class roster.

Concurrent students can view/download a PDF grade report via the UCR University Extension Student Portal under My Enrollment History. Please visit our Transcripts page for information on purchasing Official Transcripts (mailed or digital).
