General Information

Parental Questions: We do not inform parents on the status of transcript requests placed by their students, or any other private educational information as defined by FERPA, unless the student has provided written documentation in the form of the FERPA permission document giving permission of release of information to their parents.

Transferring Credits: Please note that the decision to accept an institution’s academic credits is at the sole discretion of the receiving institution.  While Andrews University is fully accredited by the Higher Learning Commission and expects that its credits will be recognized by other colleges and universities, it cannot compel another institution to accept transfer credits.

Please note:

• We are unable to make changes to a transcript request once it has been submitted.
• Students cannot initiate name changes through Transcript Services but must make that request through the Office of Academic Records at academicrecords@josephmillerdds.com.

Problems with Processing

Incorrect Addresses
If the mailed transcript delivery address is incorrect and the transcript is undeliverable and returned to Academic Records, you will receive notification that your request address was incorrect.  You must then submit another transcript request with a corrected address.

Multiple Addresses
Separate requestsmust be submitted for each address that should receive a transcript. 

Verification of Transcript Arrival
Academic Records does not verify if mailed transcripts have been received by the intended recipient.  It is the responsibility of the student to confirm with the intended recipient of the transcript that it has been received.

Financial Clearance Required
Academic Records will provide official transcripts to students only if they are financially cleared. If not financially cleared, a transcript may be ordered if the transcript is for employment purposes. E-mail transcripts@josephmillerdds.com or call 269-471-3443 for general questions regarding transcript holds.

Elements of Transcript
Official transcripts list your Andrews ID, birthdate and your name for identification purposes. These elements cannot be removed.

High School Transcripts
High school transcripts are processed by Admissions. Please consult Admissions if you have questions regarding your high school transcripts.
