For standard U.S. mail, please allow ample time for delivery. If you choose to have a transcript mailed directly to yourself, be aware that your name and address will appear as the one it was "Issued to."
Other delivery options include overnight domestic express delivery and international express. International deliveries may take two or more business days to arrive, depending on the country to which the transcript is being delivered.
Situations that will prevent the issuing of a transcript include:
- Insufficient or inaccurate information
- Invalid recipient email for electronic delivery request
- The request violates FERPA regulations.
Electronic Transcript (eTranscript)
Both paper and electronic transcripts are official documents issued by NSU that contain the complete representation of a student's academic record at NSU. The paper transcript is mailed by U.S.Postal Service or FedEx in a sealed, tamper-proof envelope. The eTranscript is emailed and contains an additional first page that provides information regarding the transcript itself. It is the student's responsibility to verify that the recipient will accept delivery of an electronic transcript.
An email with a link to download the transcript is sent containing the following information:
From:"Nova Southeastern University (No reply please)"
Subject:"Nova Southeastern University: Authentic Document Delivery Service"
To maximize privacy and security, the recipient will receive two email messages. The first email will include a link, the second email a passcode. Once the passcode is entered, the recipient will select the download button to access the certified transcript.
Note: The recipient will have access to retrieve the transcript only once. To view the transcript at a later time, it must be saved as a PDF.
After retrieving the certified transcript, the security message Valid Certificate should display. If no message or a Certificate Invalid message displays, the transcript was NOT issued by NSU.
