Requesting a Transcript
NMU has collaborated with the National Student Clearinghouse to provide online transcript ordering software. Transcripts ordered online come directly from Northern Michigan University using the specialty ordering system software. All current and former students can order transcripts online anytime using a major credit or debit card. Requesting a transcript online is convenient and fast. Automated status notifications will be sent to by email and/or by text message. The automated electronic PDF's are issued to a designated email address or delivered to many organizations and educational institutions via Electronic Transfer (ETX) in less than 30 minutes.
Currently Enrolled Students
Transferring?
If you pre-enrolled in any courses at NMU, those courses will appear on your transcript. You will be required to provide an additional updated transcript to your new college once those courses are completed or dropped.
Hold for Posting of Grades
Fall Grades are now posted. Do not select this option unless you want your transcript held for Winter 2024 grades.
Selecting the Hold for Posting of Grades processing option will hold your transcript for release in May, August or December. Do not check the "Hold For Posting of Grades" option if you want your transcript released now.
Upcoming Graduates - Hold for Degree Posting Option
Degrees are now posted to transcripts for December 19, 2023 Graduates. Do not select Hold for Degree unless your degree has not been posted to your transcript. Students can verify their degree posting on My.NMU by viewing their unofficial transcript.
The Hold for Degree Posting option is for students graduating in May, August or December who would like to have their transcript request held and processed after the degree has been posted to the transcript. If the degree is already posted to the transcript, please do not select this option, as your transcript request will not process. The order will be coded to hold and will not process.

Former Students
All former NMU students should select the "Process Now, As Is" option. Do not check the "Hold for Degree Posting" option, as your transcript order will not process through the automated computer system with that designation.
Degrees are posted to transcripts for December 2023 Graduates. Do not select the Hold for Degree option.
Special Notes for Students who attended in the 60's, 70's, 80's and Early 90's
If you attended NMU prior to the Fall 1993 semester, your complete transcript will be manually uploaded within two business days. All 1960's, 70's, 80's and early 1990's transcripts are not in the current NMU computerized records database. Those students (pre-Fall 1993) may receive a message at the beginning of the online ordering process that there is no record on file. That's normal, your information is not in the current computerized database. Please review the information you submitted and continue on to the next page of the online order. Your transcript will be uploaded from our pre-1993 database to the online order by a member of the Registrar's staff.
Transcript delivery for Pre-1993 students may take up to two business days due to manual uploading of older records. Students who attended pre-1993 and post-1993 will have their transcripts combined and resent electronically within two business days.
