Official Transcripts
Northeastern has contracted with Parchment for electronic ordering of official transcripts, sending electronic PDF transcripts on behalf of Northeastern, and responding to transcript inquiries. Note: a PDF transcript is an official transcript and contains identical information as the paper transcript.

Official Transcript Release Policy
Northeastern Illinois University will provide current and former students with an official copy of their NEIU academic transcript upon request. Requests for official academic transcripts will not be refused nor will transcripts be withheld regardless of whether the student owes a debt to or has a balance with the institution, of any amount and regardless of the transcript's intended recipient. A student who owes a debt to the institution will not be given less favorable treatment for their request for a transcript. The university may impose a reasonable fee for the provision of official copies of the academic transcript but will not charge a higher fee when a student has a debt or balance with the university.
If a current or former student has previously had a transcript or withheld from them because the student owed a debt to the institution prior to the implementation of this policy, they may request their transcript using the university's standard ordering procedures and the transcript or will be provided to them without regard for any holds that might have been previously imposed.
A current or former student who believes that they have had a transcript withheld improperly according to this policy may make a complaint with the Illinois Attorney General's Student Loan Ombudsperson by contacting loan.reports@ilag.gov. Alternatively, they may direct their concern to the NEIU Registrar’s Office by contacting, registrar@neiu.edu
- If you do not have a credit or debit card, you can purchase a prepaid card at many convenience or grocery stores.
- All obligations that prevent the release of a transcript must be resolved before the request will be processed.
- Transcript requests not made through NEIUport may require the student’s written signature (i.e. the signature page) before the request will be processed.
- Any in-progress coursework for which you are registered will automatically be included on the transcript.
- Northeastern only releases official transcripts. Current or former students whose access to NEIUport is active may view or print their own unofficial transcript.
- Northeastern releases your entire academic transcript. Requests to only release one semester or, for example, only your undergraduate transcript cannot be honored.
- Although requests to send a transcript showing semester grades can be submitted once the semester begins, grades will not be available until two days after the official end of the semester. Therefore, requests to “hold for the posting of grades” will not be processed until after the semester has ended.
- Requests to “hold for the posting of degrees” will be processed approximately eight weeks after the official end of the semester.
