SAVE TIME!! - Order Online
NMU has partnered with the National Student Clearinghouse to provide official transcript ordering online. NMU alumni and students can order transcripts online anytime using a major credit card. The advantages of using the online service are the speed of delivery and e-mail notifications indicating processing status. Students can order an electronic PDF transcript or a paper transcript online. Electronic PDF's are automated and usually processed and sent to a designated email account in about 30 minutes or less. Any student/former student/alumni may submit a transcript request online, regardless of start date.
Note: The electronic PDF copies are only available to NMU students or alumni who started attending NMU in the Fall of 1993 or later. For the older student records [pre fall semester 1993 or earlier], a paper copy is the only delivery option.
Financial/Laptop Holds - If you have a financial or laptop hold, your transcripts will not be released. Please contact the Student Service Center at 906-227-1221 or log into the NMU e-bill payment center.
Currently Enrolled Students
To order an official transcript(s), log into My.NMU. Click on the Student Services tab, then click the Order/Track Transcript link. Once you are at the NSC web site, select the Transcript Ordering/Tracking link at the bottom of the page.
Former Students
Click on this link: "Request a Transcript Online" and read the information! The green start button is below. The online form will walk you through placing the order, including delivery options and fees. During the order, you will have the option to attach a transcript matching form if needed, for institutions such as AMCAS, PharmCAS, LSAC, ect.
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.
Note: You will be required to sign a release online during the process using a computer mouse. At this time, the signature feature does not work using a smart phone or a tablet. If you do not submit your signature online, you will receive an email notification and be required to download the signature form that you must fax to NSC before your order is processed. Also, if you are experiencing technical difficulties with viewing or submitting transcript order information on the NSC site, using a different web browser will sometimes solve the problem [i.e. use Chrome, FireFox, etc. instead of Explorer].
Transferring to Another University or College?
If you are sending your transcript to another college, please specify where at the college that you want your transcript delivered to in the address you provide. 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.Recent Graduates:
Can I order that my transcript request be held for semester grades or until my degree is posted?
Degrees do not post to transcripts automatically. Degree posting requires a verification process that normally takes extra time after grades are posted to appear on a transcript. When you request a transcript, you may request one of the following:
- Mail transcript now
- Mail after current semester grades are posted
- Mail after degree is posted
If mail after current semester grades is selected, your transcript will be held until the semester grades are recorded on the transcript. Transcripts are usually mailed the following Friday after exam week. If the mail after degree is posted is marked, your transcript will not be sent until your degree date is posted to your transcript. Degree posting generally takes several weeks after the semester ends, as a final degree granting audit is required for each student. But, students who submit a transcript request prior to the end of the semester and request mail after degree posted will usually have their degree audit and posting prioritized.
