Academic Records
The Office of Registrar Services at the UTRGV SOPM is responsible for maintaining permanent records and documents that pertain to each matriculated student's progress through podiatry school. These records include application materials, podiatry school evaluations, official transcripts of all podiatry school coursework, documentation of grade changes, American Podiatric Medical Licensing Examination (APMLE) scores administered by the National Board of Podiatric Medical Examiners, and APMLE ID number, official dates of enrollment, Podiatric Medical Student Performance Evaluations (PMSPE), documentation of dismissal or withdrawal, copies of diplomas, copies of Federation of State Medical Boards and other state licensing forms. The procedures used in managing these records are consistent with established standards and existing regulations. Educational records are considered confidential. Under most circumstances, an individual student's records will not be released without the student's written and signed consent.
The UTRGV SOPM adheres to the UT System Board of Regents’ Rules and Regulations Rule 50702 Confidentiality and Security of Education Records Subject to the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA).
The academic record reflects the total, unabridged academic history of a student at the SOPM. All courses will be recorded during the academic period in which the course was taken and graded.
Access Academic Records
Students may obtain their records using ASSIST. Students may log in to myUTRGV.edu with their UTRGV usernames and passwords and click on the ASSIST icon under the Applications area. Students requiring an official hard copy of their grades may request an official transcript.
Official Transcript
Current and former UTRGV SOPM students requiring their official academic record may request a transcript using the university's online ordering service for five dollars ($5). Requests are only accepted using our online ordering option. If you cannot access our online ordering system, please email us at registrar@utrgv.edu.
Enrollment Verifications
An enrollment verification of a student is used to officially verify a student's enrollment status, anticipated graduation date, and proof of attendance. This is often needed for loan deferments, insurance companies, banks, conference attendance, organizational membership applications, and other interested parties.
Students at the UTRGV SOPM may request enrollment verifications by downloading and completing the Enrollment Documentation Request Form and forwarding it to our SOPM Registrar Services Office at SOPMregistrar@utrgv.edu. If appropriate, enrollment verifications will also certify good standing at UTRGV SOPM.
Certifications of Good Standing
A Certification of Good Standing is used to certify enrollment and to officially certify that the student is in good standing at the UTRGV SOPM. Broadly defined, a student in good standing is eligible to continue, return, or transfer elsewhere. It implies good academic standing and good citizenship. Like enrollment verification, this certification is also often needed for good student discounts, insurance companies, banks, conference attendance, organizational membership applications, and other interested parties.
Students at the UTRGV SOPM may use the same Enrollment Documentation Request Form to request a certification of good standing.
