Academic Records and Transcripts
The DLIFLC Registrar Division maintains the records of student achievement from all resident programs administered by the DLIFLC and its predecessors and branches at a variety of locations from 1947 to present. These include:
- Army Language School, Presidio of Monterey, CA
- DLI West Coast Branch, Presidio of Monterey, CA
- DLI East Coast Branch, U.S. Naval Station (Anacostia Annex), Washington, D.C
- DLI Southwest Branch, Biggs Air Force Base, TX (also called “DLI Support Command”)
- DLI, Presidio of San Francisco, CA
- DLI Lackland Operating Detachment, Lackland Air Force Base, TX
- DLI Washington Office, Washington, D.C.
Transcripts of academic records may be requested for any resident foreign language program conducted by or for the DLIFLC, including all the branches listed above. For DLI to prepare a transcript, an applicant must submit a signed request with the applicant’s name, ssn, name at the time of graduation, the language studied, the year of graduation, the class number, if possible, the instructional branch attended, the names and addresses of the receiving institutions and the number of copies. See form below.
In addition, the American Council on Education (ACE) provides academic credit recommendations based on test scores earned on the Defense Language Proficiency Test (DLPT). Credits are reported on a DLPT SCORE REPORT administered by the Defense Language Institute (DLI) Registrar’s Office. Qualifications: credit recommendations are only available for languages tested with a DLPT III or DLPT IV format after 1 October 1990. Linguists who desire academic credit based on their DLPT scores may request DLI to send an official copy of their DLPT SCORE REPORT to a university or college of their choice. The DLI prepares DLPT SCORE REPORTS based on official test scores it maintains for students who completed one of its language programs or based on test scores for qualified linguists whose original test answer sheets have been forwarded to the DLI Testing Division by an official test site. For DLI to prepare a transcript, an applicant must submit a signed request with the applicant’s name, ssn, language tested, the test date and the location of test site, and the graduation date (if a DLI student). Also include the names and addresses of the receiving institutions and the number of copies. See form below.
Requests for academic transcripts and/or DLPT Score Reports should be directed to the DLI Registrar’s Office at the address below. Signed requests can also be faxed to this address. There is no charge for issuing transcripts. Transcripts sent directly to students will be marked "Issued to Student" unless the student specifically requests to have them sent to their home address inside "sealed" envelopes.

Transcripts may also be obtained from this office for language courses taken under the DLIFLC’s contract training programs administered by DLI Washington or its predecessors. The following caveats apply:
If the contract training was conducted by a university (such as Indiana, Syracuse, Cornell, or Yale) prior to 1975, the university involved may be able to award academic credit. Inquiries should be addressed to the appropriate university registrars.
If the contract training was conducted by the State Department’s Foreign Service Institute (FSI) prior to December 1986 (the date when most FSI entries in the 1990 Guide to the Evaluation of Educational Experiences in the Armed Services expired), a transcript should be sought from:
Registrar
Foreign Service Institute
Department of State
Arlington, VA 22209
The FSI will also issue a transcript upon request for training conducted after December, 1986. However, in such cases, college or university registrars may employ greater discretion in awarding credits based on those previously recommended by the Guide.
It is important to remember that courses and credits transferred from DLI to other academic institutions is discretionary. Each institution follows its own policies and procedures in establishing the equivalents for courses completed elsewhere. DLIFLC has established Memorandums of Understanding with a number of colleges, including Monterey Peninsula College. Information on the transfer of credits and the DLIFLC Joint Associate Degree Program with Monterey Peninsula College can be obtained from the Education Center, (831) 242-5325.
Individual academic records are covered in part by the Privacy Act of 1974. Consequently, an individual’s academic records will not be released without the written consent of that individual.
