Transcripts
Transcripts (official and unofficial) are released ONLY upon the signed consent of the student. Upon receiving a signed request, we may mail, fax, or email the transcript, as directed in the request. The student should verify with the recipient of the transcript if the transcript needs to be official or unofficial, and the acceptable mode of delivery.  

The request must include:

  • the student's full name as when she/he attended
  • approximate dates of attendance at Nebraska Wesleyan
  • student ID number or social security number
  • birth date
  • name and address (or fax number or email address) of where transcript is to be sent
  • student's signature

This request may be mailed or faxed to:

Registrar's Office
Nebraska Wesleyan University
5000 Saint Paul Avenue
Lincoln, NE 68504-2796
Fax: 402-465-2565

Official Transcripts

  • An official transcript bears the seal of the university.  When a transcript is released to a student it will indicate it is “Issued to Student”. (Verify with the recipient if this is acceptable.) Because the university seal is not transmitted electronically, faxed or emailed transcripts should not be considered official.

  • A student’s account with the business office, library and other pertinent campus offices must be paid in full before being entitled to an official transcript.

  • The first official transcript for each student is free of charge; after that there is a fee of $5 per copy. If six or more transcripts are ordered at one time the fee is reduced to $1 for the sixth and following transcripts.

Unofficial Transcripts:

  • There is no charge for an unofficial transcript, which may be mailed, faxed, or emailed.

Transcripts are normally processed within two to three working days.

Privacy of Educational Records
The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 provides for specific rights to students regarding the privacy of their educational records. Nebraska Wesleyan policies and procedures that pertain to this law are available through the Student Life Office or Registrar’s Office.

Nebraska Wesleyan has designated the following as directory information:

  • Name
  • Home address
  • Local address
  • Home telephone number
  • Local telephone number
  • Email address
  • Classification and major
  • Dates of attendance at Nebraska Wesleyan
  • Date and place of birth
  • Degrees and awards received at Nebraska Wesleyan
  • Institutions attended prior to admission to Nebraska Wesleyan
  • Participation in recognized activities and sports
  • Photograph
  • Weight and height of members of athletic teams

Directory information may be disclosed by Nebraska Wesleyan University without student consent. However, students have the right to withhold disclosure of this information. Students must notify the Registrar in writing during the first week of classes each semester if they do not wish directory information to be released without their permission.

Nebraska Wesleyan will not disclose the contents of students’ educational records to other parties without student consent except under circumstances allowed by the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act.

Educational records are available for review by students in agreement with the act. Students should submit to the Registrar, Provost, Vice President for Student Life and Campus Community, Director of University College Programs, advisor, or other appropriate officials, written requests that identify the record(s) they wish to inspect. Students may ask Nebraska Wesleyan to amend their educational records if information in them is incorrect, misleading, or in violation of their privacy rights. Students have the right to challenge the contents of an educational record under prescribed procedures and to file a complaint with the U.S. Department of Education if there is a violation of the act.
