How to Request a Transcript

SAVE TIME!!    - Order Online

NMU has partnered with the National Student Clearinghouse to provide transcript ordering online. Students can order transcripts online anytime using a major credit card. One of the many great advantages of the online service is that students will receive e-mail notifications on the status of the request. The other big advantage is the speed in which transcripts are delivered. If you prefer not to use the online order system, you may opt to use the mail-in service. Forms can be printed from the link on the left. Because the mailing process is so dependent on mail delivery time, please consider using the online option, if time is a factor. 

Rush/One-Day-Service is available but your request must be received prior to 11 a.m. EST, in order to get the transcript out in the same day mail. See Fees and Processing Time link on the left for more information. If you have a financial or laptop hold, your transcripts cannot be released. And, transcripts cannot be requested by e-mail or from friends and family.

Read the directions!!  If you have questions, check the transcript information links on the left of this web page.

Students Transferring

If you enrolled/pre-enrolled for the fall/winter semester at NMU, those courses will appear on your transcript. You will be required to provide another transcript to your new school once those courses are completed or dropped.

Current Students

To order an official transcript(s), log into my.nmu. Click on the Student Services tab, then the “Order/Track Transcript” link. Once you are at the National Student Clearinghouse web site, select the “transcript ordering/tracking” link. 

Former Students

Log into the NCS secure site. The National Student Clearinghouse site will walk you through placing your order, including delivery options and fees. You can order as many transcripts as you like in a single session. Each address must be submitted as a separate request. Order status and updates will be emailed to you. You can also track your order online.

General Information for Paper Transcripts

Print a transcript request form and mail to the Registrar's Office. If you include pre-addressed mailing labels, your transcript request may be processed a little quicker. If you need your transcript quickly, don't mail it - use the online service mentioned above.

All paper 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 $5 per copy. First class postage is included in the transcript fee. A check or money order made out to NMU must be included with all requests received by mail. You can also drop off the form at the Student Service Center. Transcript requests that do not include correct fees will not be processed.

Transcripts cannot be requested by phone, e-mail, verbally, from friends, your spouse or relatives in accordance with The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974. There are no exceptions to this policy.

If you are currently living outside the United States, stationed abroad in the military, or if you have an emergency situation, please use the online site to request your transcript. It will be a lot faster.

Because of personal security and other concerns, NMU cannot e-mail, scan or fax transcripts.

If you have further questions, please review information available on the transcript links on the right sidebar of this web page. If you have further questions, please e-mail: tscript@nmu.edu.

Unofficial Transcripts

Unofficial transcripts are $2 per copy. Unofficial transcripts cannot be requested through the National Student Clearinghouse. Request forms are available on the upper left link of this page. If you need a transcript right away, or for some other "emergency" reason, you will need to request an official transcript and use the RUSH service option. NMU cannot e-mail or fax unofficial transcripts.

Current Students - can access their unofficial transcript by going to mynmu.nmu.edu and entering their NMU (e-mail) user ID and password. Unofficial transcripts are printed on plain paper and are a basic print-out of courses and grades for the student's personal file. Unofficial transcripts are issued for student use only and will only be sent to the student's address.

Former Students - There  is no difference in processing time or process for unofficial transcripts. Student copies contain the same confidential information and cannot be obtained  any differently than official transcripts.
