Transcripts

A transcript is a student's complete academic record at the University of Michigan-Dearborn.

Official vs Unofficial

Official transcripts are printed on special protective paper or created with a secure PDF format. The transcript is only official if it has the University of Michigan-Dearborn seal and the Registrar's signature. Official transcripts given directly to a student may not be accepted as official.

Unofficial transcripts do not contain the University of Michigan-Dearborn seal or the Registrar’s signature. Students may obtain an unofficial transcript at any time via the Student Information System.

Requesting Transcripts

The University of Michigan-Dearborn has partnered with the National Student Clearinghouse (NSC) to provide transcript ordering online. This partnership allows orders 24 hours a day, seven days a week and tracking via text message or email. The NSC website provides instructions for submitting a request, including selecting delivery options. Through the online system, you can order multiple transcripts in a single session and include attachments.

Prior School Transcripts

The transcript(s) that were presented for admission have become an integral part of the files of the admitting offices and cannot be released, either directly or for copying purposes. It will be necessary for you to write directly to the institutions concerned to obtain copies of those previous records. In addition, documents such as SAT/ACT scores are not available from the Office of the Registrar.
