How to Request a Transcript

SAVE LOTS OF TIME!!    - Order Transcripts Online

Ordering Online

NMU has authorized the National Student Clearinghouse to provide transcript ordering via the Web.You can order transcripts online anytime using a major credit card. One of the great advantages of the online service is that you will receive e-mail notifications on the status of the request. If you are computer challenged, you may opt to use the mail-in service. Forms can be printed from the link on the left. But this old-style process will take quite a bit longer. So, why not give the online service a try?

Note: Rush/One-Day-Service Transcript requests received after 11 a.m. EST, will not go out in the mail until the next business day. See Fees and Processing Time link on the left for more information. If you have a financial hold with NMU, your transcripts cannot be released. Transcripts cannot be requested by e-mail, and they cannot be sent electronically at this time. NMU is closed on Friday's until late August.

Read the directions!! Answers to all your questions are provide here [or on the left links]. NMU will not be held responsible for problems resulting from incorrect submissions.

Degree postings do not happen automatically. They are hand-processed. Check "HOLD FOR DEGREE POSTING" on the form so that graduation date will appear on your transcript.

Students Transferring

If you pre-enrolled for Fall at NMU, those courses will appear on your transcript. You will then be required by your new school to provide another transcript once the courses are dropped.
