“OMAHA, Neb. (WOWT) - Before he could deploy to Afghanistan and counsel soldiers in a warzone, then-Army Chaplain Maj. Vince Hardy needed a master’s degree, so he earned one at Grace University in Omaha.

“The Army was aware that I completed a master’s and they allowed me to come back on duty as a chaplain,” Vince said.

Grace University closed in 2018, and by law, the University of Nebraska-Lincoln manages the academic records of defunct colleges in the state. That way, if any of the 10,000 alumni needed to show their academic achievements, they know where to find them.

But the retired Army chaplain tells 6 News when it came time to provide proof of his master’s degree at Grace, those records are nowhere to be found.”

 

My dog ate my transcripts.

 

Great thing about more schools using Parchment (diploma and transcript service).
