The Master Educator Course (MEC) began in 2015 as the Cadre and Faculty Development Course (CFDC). The program ran for three years as CFDC, serving hundreds of participants from across the nation and U.S. territories. Re-envisioning the CFDC program, the UofL team and U.S. Cadet Command launched the first cycle of MEC in January 2018.

At UofL, you can request two types of transcripts: official and unofficial. Typically, an official transcript–sent directly from one university to another–is required for admissions processes. Unofficial transcripts are often used in informal situations (e.g., personal records, advising).

To request an official transcript, please visit http://louisville.edu/registrar/online-services/test_official-transcripts.

To view or print your unofficial transcript, please visit ULink. Under Registration, you’ll see a "transcript" section with a link to "view/print unofficial transcript."
