Information for Former Students

Students may request to have official transcripts of their UB academic work sent to themselves or designated third parties. Unofficial transcripts are available through HUB for students who attended UB since spring 2011.

Diplomas are mailed approximately 4-6 weeks after the conferral of the degree and are printed by a nationally prominent firm on high-quality paper with an engraved UB seal. Students may also choose to purchase an additional diploma.

Students who plan to leave the university at the end of a semester but return within two semesters should consider requesting a leave of absence.

A non-degree seeking student is someone who is enrolled on a semester-by-semester or course-by-course basis and has not been accepted as a regular student pursuing a degree.

Current and former students may have a need to update the name associated with their academic record. Typical reasons for a name change include marriage, divorce, naturalization and use of a variation of their name.

At UB, students may choose to use a name other than their legal name to identify themselves. The university will use a student’s preferred/chosen name when possible unless the student’s legal name is required by law. For identity verification purposes, students must use their legal last name.
