Official Transcript FAQ

Section 1-Verify Transcript

Why is it necessary to verify my transcript?

You should verify your transcript to see that all the grades you need have been entered correctly on your transcript. If you have just graduated, you will want to verify that your degree has been added as well. When you submit a request, your request is processed immediately and is not held for any missing information.

What should I do if I find errors or missing information?

If information is missing or if you believe there are errors on your transcript, contact the UMC Office of the Registrar, 9 Hill Hall, 218-281-8548 to resolve any problems.

I have attachments that need to be sent along with my transcript. Can I arrange this using this application?

No, if you have any supplemental forms that must be enclosed with your transcript, you cannot use this online request. You must mail a Request for Official Transcript form and your supplemental form to Office of the Registrar, 9 Hill Hall, 2900 University Ave , Crookston , MN 56716 .

Section 2-Recipient Information

My address isn't listed correctly; how do I fix it?

If you wish to update your home or current mailing address, go to Update / Suppress your Personal Information .

What does "signed and sealed" mean?

Many colleges/universities/companies/institutions require that an official transcript be sent to them "signed and sealed". All transcripts are sent from our office in sealed envelope.

If you have requested an official transcript be sent to you for personal use (one that you will not be forwarding to another institution), you can open the envelope and use the enclosed transcript.

If you have requested an official transcript be sent to you that will be forwarded to another institution, do not open the envelope.

How long does it take to process a regular transcript request?

Your transcript request will be processed and mailed within 2-3 business days. Allow at least 2 weeks for your transcript(s) to reach your recipient(s); allow additional days if sent international.
