Transcript RequestsPlease read all information carefully regarding your request and services that we offer. Official transcripts are available upon request. All transcripts requests must be made in writing or online, and the appropriate transcript fee must be included. Transcripts will not be released unless all financial obligations have been met. (Recent or current students who have a portal account may view and/or print an unofficial copy of their National-Louis transcript through their personal account at MY.NL.EDU.) We offer four types of service: Regular, Rush, Same Day, and Regular with a completion statement. Please see the chart to learn the details of these services, as well as the information following.

UPS cannot deliver to a PO Box. Same Day Service If you fax your request, please call 847.947.5718 to confirm receipt of your same day service request. Regular Service with a Completion Statement on the Transcript Students who have submitted a degree finalization request but whose degree is not yet awarded may request a completion statement to be printed on their official transcript. Students must submit a Diploma and Degree Finalization Request before they can request a completion statement. Completion statements will not be processed in the two weeks prior to a diploma date. There is no rush or same day service for completion statements. Once the diploma date has come, the office begins to post degrees for students graduating with that date; this process may take 2-3 weeks to complete. Therefore, it is recommended for students ordering a transcript in the time period close to a diploma date to select "Send After: Degree is posted" on the transcript request to ensure that the transcript reflects the degree earned. Processing time may be longer than 5-7 business days if all grade and degree requirements have not been met or grades have not been submitted. This is an example of the statement that is printed on the transcript: All requirements for the [Master of Education] degree have been completed as of [07/20/08]. The degree will be awarded [8/31/08]. Ready to make your transcript request? Request Online The National Student Clearinghouse provides online transcript request service for NLU students and alumni.

These transcripts must be requested directly from the institution where the degree or credit was earned.
