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 before Fall 1993 and after Fall 1993 will have their transcripts combined and resent electronically within two business days.

Upcoming Graduates - Hold for Degree Posting Option
Degrees are posted to transcripts for December 2023 Graduates. Do not select Hold for Degree unless you are graduating in May 2024. Current 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.
