Transcript Requests and Registrar

Important Transcript Information

Northwood University has partnered with the National Student Clearinghouse (NSC) to provide online ordering of Northwood University transcripts. NSC makes ordering a transcript easy, secure, and more convenient by allowing orders to be placed 24/7.

Requesting a Transcript

The National Student Clearinghouse transcript request is the only method in which a transcript may be requested. Northwood University does not accept transcript requests via fax, email or phone.

Once the order is complete, NSC will send a confirmation email. You can also track your transcript order by providing your email address and order number.

Mail transcript

A transcript being mailed through the United States Postal Service could take up to two to three days’ processing time before mailing.

Electronic transcript

A transcript requested electronically is typically received the same day it is ordered.

Note that the link to the electronic transcript does expire after 30 days.

Returning to Northwood

If you previously attended or graduated from Northwood there is no need to submit a request to send a transcript from Northwood University.

Official and Unofficial Transcripts

Official transcript: Sent by Northwood or by NSC (on behalf of Northwood University) directly to a receiving party (e.g. employer, university). Official transcripts cannot be sent to the student.

Unofficial transcript: Sent by NSC on behalf of Northwood University to a student or the individual requestor named on the transcript and not to a receiving party.
