Transcripts

Your transcript is the official permanent record of all the courses you have attended at Western Michigan University. Classes you have attended at other institutions do not show on your University transcript. WMU has authorized Parchment to manage the ordering, processing and secure delivery of student transcripts.  

Parchment offers:

  • Secure online access to request your transcript anytime.
  • Email notification when transcripts are processed and received.
  • Online tracking ability.
  • The option to request electronic delivery of your transcript.
