Unofficial Transcripts on
Currently enrolled students can access their unofficial transcripts at no charge on my.nmu.edu with their NMU (e-mail) User I.D. and Password. Former students do not have this option.
Undergraduate, Graduate, Vocational and Post-Baccalaureate A complete academic record, undergraduate and graduate level work if applicable, are included in each set of transcripts ordered.
Financial Obligations to NMU
Outstanding financial obligations to NMU
will delay the release of official transcripts. Transcripts will not be
released until all
financial obligations are paid to the Student Service Center, C.B. Hedgcock, Room 2201
Requesting a Transcript in Person Transcript request forms can be filled out at the Student Service Center with a photo I.D.
Transcript requests cannot be accepted from friends, spouse or relatives in accordance with The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974.
Official Transcript Definition An official transcript is one that has been received directly from NMU. Official transcripts are printed on official transcript (green and white) paper. It must bear the embossed or raised college seal, date and the Registrar's signature. Transcripts received that do not meet these requirements should not be considered official and should be routinely rejected for permanent use. -This definition of an official transcript was endorsed by the Michigan Association of Collegiate Registrars and Admissions Officers on November 5, 1987. Official transcripts are provided in a sealed envelope with the Registrar's signature stamped across the seal. The official transcript should remain in the unopened, sealed envelope until it is presented to the employer, institution or scholarship provider. Northern Michigan University will issue official transcripts to the student. Official transcripts are required for transfer to another college or university. Official transcripts are also provided to confirm education for professional employment opportunities, teacher or nursing licensure and other credential verification. Unofficial Transcript Definition Transcripts that have been in the hands of the student such as student copy/unofficial transcripts are not considered official. Unofficial transcripts are printed on plain paper and do not have a college seal or registrar's signature. Unofficial transcripts cannot be used to transfer to another college or university.
Unofficial transcripts are issued for use by the student only. NMU will not issue unofficial transcripts for other uses. |

How
to Request a Transcript
In accordance with The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 and Northern Michigan University policy, all requests for transcripts must be submitted in writing. NMU cannot accept transcript requests by fax machine. Official transcripts cannot be requested by telephone, e-mail, e-mail attachment or on the Web. To obtain an official transcript, print the Web-based transcript request form and mail to:
Northern Michigan University All transcript requests must include: name, NMU IN (or S.S.# for non-students), signature, transcript fee and the exact address where the transcript is to be sent. Each official transcript is $4 per copy. Unofficial transcripts are $1 per copy. First class postage is included in the transcript fee. A check or money order made out to NMU must be included with the request. Transcript requests that do not include the correct fee will be returned to sender. Transcript requests cannot be accepted from friends, spouse or relatives in accordance with The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974.
NMU makes a reasonable effort to provide
transcripts quickly. Transcript requests received in person or by mail
are normally processed in two business days, not including the date
received. If transcript request volume is heavy
or if we experience high-tech issues, it may take
a day or two longer to process. Please include mailing labels for faster
processing.
NMU will not be held
responsible for last-minute or overdue transcript requests or penalties
that result from delayed requests. NMU will not be held responsible for
transcripts that are lost or held up in the mail.
*Overnight or 2nd day postage guarantees do not apply to AK, HI, or Canada.
**Express Mail and Priority Mail packages from the U.S. Postal Service take one extra day getting to and going from the Upper Peninsula.
Mail Delivery Notes:
Mailing Labels-For express
delivery requests,
please include two completed mailing labels for each address. This
will help to speed up processing. You can enclose preprinted return
address labels for this. Apartment Buildings-To ensure delivery to locked mail boxes, mailing addresses which include apartment numbers will be mailed using U.S. Postal Service Express Mail or U.S. Postal Service Priority Mail.
Post Office Boxes-UPS will not deliver mail to Post Office Boxes.
If a Post Office Box is provided, transcripts will be mailed using
the express services of the U.S. Postal Service.
Complete Mailing Address-You must provide a
complete mailing address which includes a school or company name, a
street address, city, state and zip code. Requests that do no
include a complete mailing address risk delay and slower delivery.
Express Delivery
Processing Time-All transcript requests are
processed in the order received and
on a
first-come, first-served basis.
Paying additional express postage does not
guarantee faster processing and does not ascertain immediate service. See
Transcript Processing
Time above. Tracking Numbers-NMU will not be held responsible for express delivery that is lost or delayed in the mail. Tracking numbers will be provided only if the package does not arrive when scheduled. Mail Services will provide a tracking number only if a package does not arrive when scheduled or if the student desires to seek restitution from the delivery service. Also note Institutional Mail Delivery.
U.P. Delivery Addresses-Express
delivery service to Upper Peninsula addresses is usually not
particularly beneficial or cost-effective, especially 2-3 day service.
Also, please consider that there is usually no express delivery on the
weekend nullifying the extra cost. First class mail will usually suffice. |
