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.

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
