Transcript Requests

General Instructions

Complete the transcript request form with all applicable information and sign it. Illegible requests and/or forms with missing information will prevent or delay the processing of the request. Note for JFSC Students: Transcript requests for programs offered through NDU's Joint Forces Staff College in Norfolk, VA should be submitted directly to the Enrollment Management and Student Services Office at JFSC. They can be reached by phone at (757) 443-6124 or by email at registrar2@ndu.edu.

  • Transcript request processing requires a student signature authorizing the prescribed release of the academic transcript. Requests by persons other than the student will not be honored without the student’s written authorization and signature.
  • Transcript requests are processed in the order that they are received. Typical processing time is 5-7 business days, but our peak times, usually around graduation, may require up to eight weeks. We receive a large volume of requests, so plan accordingly to allow sufficient time for the transcript to arrive to its destination. If you are requesting a transcript for a promotion board or job application and have a tight deadline, please note the deadline in your email and on the form. We will try to expedite the request. (Please note: If you are requesting that your transcripts be mailed, they will be sent first-class with the USPS. Transcripts mailed to APO/FPO addresses may require additional time to be received.)
  • The Enrollment Management and Student Services Office will process up to five official transcripts per request. If you need transcripts to be mailed to more than two addresses, you may fill out the address field of an additional form and attach the extra page to your request.
