NMU has collaborated with the National Student Clearinghouse to provide online transcript ordering. Current and former students can order transcripts online anytime using a major credit card. Speed and convenience are the best advantages of this service. Receiving automated status notifications via text and email is another great feature. Students can order an electronic PDF* transcript or have a paper copy printed for pickup or mail. The automated electronic PDF's are sent to a designated email account in about 30 minutes or less.
*Receiving an electronic PDF copy requires a starting date of Fall 1993 or later. For student attendance prior to Fall 1993, paper copies are available.

If you are experiencing technical difficulties with submitting transcript order information on the NSC site, try using a different web browser such as Chrome or FireFox, and/or delete your history/cookies. Some users experience problems using a smart phone. If that's the issue, try using a laptop computer, tablet or newer phone instead.
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.
December Graduates
Check the Hold for Degree Posting option if you want to wait for your transcript to state that you have graduated. (Currently available for December graduates only). Previous degrees are already posted to the transcript.
Degree posting requires a verification process that takes extra time after grades are posted to appear on a transcript. To check and see if your degree has been posted to your transcript - log onto My.NMU, go to the Student Services tab and go to the Unofficial Transcript link. When you request a transcript, you may request one of the following:
- Send transcript now
- Send after degree is posted to transcript
