Student Records

Ferris State University academic transcripts are complete records of enrollment and include undergraduate, graduate, and professional coursework. Please be aware, before ordering an official transcript, check your unofficial transcript to ensure all degrees and grades have been posted. If these have not posted on your unofficial, they will not be reflected on your official. To learn how to request your transcript order is held until after grades have posted, please see Special Options below.
