UNDERGRADUATE & GRADUATE TRANSCRIPTS

There is no charge for this service. Click here to print out the request form. You can fax this form to 517-264-7744 or mail it to the Registrar’s Office.

DID YOU START YOUR COURSE WORK AT SIENA HEIGHTS AFTER FALL 1991?

If you have attended Siena Heights University since Fall 1991, help us “go green” and request your Siena Heights University transcript online and have them sent electronically. This is Siena Heights’ preferred method of sending transcripts.

  • The following fees are our special MECH rates as part of the compact agreement for MECH states. Any surcharge the school wants to set would be in addition to these fees for students. These charges are subject to change by Parchment.
    • Electronic transcript fee (Base fee): $3.00

Parchment will send the electronic transcript to the address you provided. NOTE: If you owe money to the University, your request will be rejected. Sorry, the money you paid to Parchment will not be returned. This is the policy of Parchment.

WHEN CAN I GET MY TRANSCRIPT AFTER I HAVE MADE MY FINAL PAYMENT?

For checks written, there is a seven business day wait for the check to clear the bank before the transcript is released. For ACH/electronic check payments, there is a seven business day wait before the transcript is released. This is because the ACH/electronic check is treated like a regular check. For credit card (MasterCard, Discover or American Express) payments, transcripts will be released within 24 hours.
