These letters are sometimes required for other universities, licensing boards, or employers when there is not time for an official transcript to be issued before a particular deadline. Official transcripts and diplomas are typically issued within 4 to 6 weeks of the degree conferral date shown on the academic calendar for each term.<\/p>\n<p>Official transcripts are the official verification of degree conferral. A letter of completion is a temporary, informal confirmation that a degree is expected to be awarded. It is possible, although very rare, that further review could show a degree will not be conferred even after a letter of completion is issued.<\/p>\n<p>To request a letter of completion, please contact the Dean&#8217;s office of your academic college.<\/p>\n<p>To request official transcripts, please see the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.marshall.edu\/registrar\/transcripts\/\">transcript information website<\/a> or contact the Registrar&#8217;s office.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A letter of completion is a letter issued by Marshall University to confirm that a student appears to have completed all degree requirements and is expected to receive a degree on a particular date.
