BOARD DATE: 13 March 2014
DOCKET NUMBER: AR20140000273
THE BOARD CONSIDERED THE FOLLOWING EVIDENCE:
1. Application for correction of military records (with supporting documents provided, if any).
2. Military Personnel Records and advisory opinions (if any).
THE APPLICANT'S REQUEST, STATEMENT, AND EVIDENCE:
1. The applicant requests removal of a transcript from Ashwood University from his Army Military Human Resource Record (AMHRR).
2. The applicant states Ashwood University is no longer an accredited school. He would like the transcript removed from his AMHRR so he can have his accredited courses documented. He currently has 77 credits from the University of Maryland University College.
3. The applicant provides an unofficial transcript from the University of Maryland University College.
CONSIDERATION OF EVIDENCE:
1. Having prior enlisted service (1998 to 2009), the applicant was appointed as a Reserve warrant officer of the Army and executed the oath of office on 14 April 2009.
2. He completed the Signal Systems Support Technician Warrant Officer Basic Course and was promoted to chief warrant officer two on 14 April 2011.
3. His AMHRR contains a transcript from Ashwood University, an online entity with no known physical address.
4. The U.S. Department of Education Internet website does not list Ashwood University as an accredited university.
5. On 15 April 2010, Military Personnel (MILPER) Message Number 10-109 announced the procedures for removal of fraudulent diplomas or transcripts from a Soldier's AMHRR. This message provided that Soldiers were required to submit their requests to have a transcript removed through their chains of command to the appropriate authority, which in this case is the U.S. Army Human Resources Command. This message has since been rescinded.
6. A review of the applicant's official records failed to show any evidence that he submitted a request for removal of the transcript from his official records through his chain of command in accordance with MILPER Message Number 10-109.
7. Army Regulation 600-8-104 (Army Military Human Resource Records Management) governs the composition of the AMHRR and states the performance folder is used for filing performance, commendatory, and disciplinary data. Once placed in the AMHRR, the document becomes a permanent part of that file. The document will not be removed from or moved to another part of the AMHRR unless directed by certain agencies, to include this Board. Army Regulation 600-8-104 states college transcripts must be from an accredited college or university and are filed in the AMHRR as verified by the Department of Education. Officer transcripts indicating degree completion are filed in the performance folder and incomplete transcripts are filed in the service folder.
DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSIONS:
1. Although the Department of Education does not list Ashwood University as an accredited university, the applicant's official records do not contain any indication that he attempted to have the transcript removed using the procedures outlined in MILPER Message Number 10-109 when they were in effect.
2. He offered no evidence to show that Ashwood University was ever an accredited school or to explain why he thought it was. He has also not explained why he submitted the transcript for filing in his official records to begin with.
3. He provides no evidence to show he has been administratively denied filing of his University of Maryland University College transcripts.
4. Accordingly, it would not serve justice to remove the transcript from his records at this time.
