here.

Final grades will be posted by December 20th. If you need to get an official transcript for any reason, be sure to order it after this date so it will show this semester's grades.
To order your transcript, you must log in to UAOnline. You will find the option to request an official transcript under the Student Services & Account Information menu. If you need any assistance, feel free to give us a call at
(888) 478-1452
. Keep in mind that this is a process that must be done from your student account. Unfortunately, an advisor cannot initiate it for you.

We hope you're doing great in all of your classes! However, if you feel like you're falling behind or just need a little extra help, make sure you seek out a tutor.
We have tons of help on campus, at CTC, and even online! Whether you need to talk to someone about Math, English, Science, or a Foreign Language, you're covered. Visit our
