- Paper transcripts are produced and mailed by Registrar’s Office staff. Be sure to take mailing time into account if you are ordering a transcript in advance of a deadline.
- Electronic transcripts are processed and delivered 24/7 as orders are submitted. Occasionally, an order will require manual intervention from Registrar’s Office staff. Please allow one to three business days for processing in these cases.
- You will need to use a major credit card when placing your order online. The cost for a paper transcript is $8, and the cost for an electronic transcript is $6.50.
- Most students will be able to order either a secure electronic transcript or a paper transcript. An electronic transcript is considered official only for the initial recipient. It is your responsibility to ensure you select a delivery method that is accepted by your recipient.
- We are not able to hold a transcript request for the posting of final grades or degree date. Please wait to place your request until you see that your grades or degree is posted.
- If your name has changed since your Northwestern attendance and you would like your current name reflected on your transcript, it is your responsibility to contact the Registrar’s Office to ensure the correct name is in our records prior to placing your transcript order.
- When placing a transcript order, you are able to upload an attachment to be sent along with your transcript. Please note that we cannot send transcripts from other institutions (including high schools) as attachments.
Other Transcript Requests
Student transcripts from previously attended institutions that were provided to Northwestern become the property of Northwestern. Northwestern does not provide copies of transcripts from other institutions that are part of a Northwestern student’s education record. In order to obtain accurate, up-to-date information and ensure that no protocol of the issuing institution is circumvented, a student must contact the originating institution for a copy of that institution’s transcript.
