Official transcripts are available as an eTranscript (PDF) or printed on secure blue paper. MTSU does not fax transcripts. Transcripts may not be issued until all debts or obligations to the institution have been satisfied. The university does not provide unofficial transcripts. Unofficial transcripts can only be accessed online through PipelineMT by selecting the Registration & Student Records menu and the Transcript icon.
Order Official Transcripts Online
Current and former students may order transcripts online 24/7 using Parchment.

This vendor provides this service through an agreement with Middle Tennessee State University and is considered secure and encrypted. If ordering an eTranscript (PDF) please allow at least 45-60 minutes for processing, confirmation, and delivery notifications.

The term eTranscript refers to any transcript delivered to the recipient in an electronic format instead of being printed and mailed to the recipient. MTSU offers the electronic delivery of your transcript as a PDF document. If you choose this option on the Parchment online order form, it means that your transcript will be created as a PDF document and the intended recipient will be notified by email that it is ready to be downloaded. This method is used when you have selected a school that is participating in the Parchment Network and is able to receive PDF transcripts electronically or when you have designated an individual or other non-educational institution who is not a participant in the network as the recipient.
Once an order is submitted the email recipient cannot be changed. Please verify the email recipient is correct before submitting your order.
Things to know:
Link to PDF expires 48 hours after it has been initially downloaded (excluding weekends/holidays)
The email link cannot be saved or forwarded to another recipient
If printed, PRINTED COPY will print across the front of the transcript
Yes. As long as the listed recipient accepts eTranscripts (pdf), the eTranscript ordered through Parchment is considered an official transcript. The eTranscript is no longer official if printed and will state “PRINTED COPY” on the face of the transcript.

You should consider purchasing a single use, pre-paid card so you can place your order online. Requests received by mail or email are normally processed within 5 business days plus mailing time, but may vary due to university closings. We strongly encourage students to place orders online with Parchment for faster and more efficient delivery.
Transcripts may not be released until all debts or obligations owed to the institution have been satisfied. Those with access to PipelineMT should check for and remove any transcript hold prior to ordering transcripts. In PipelineMT > Select Registration & Student Records > View My Holds icon. If your hold is not cleared within 30 days of placing an order, your order may be canceled and you will be notified via email.
Effective July 1, 2024, in accordance with federal rules, some students with prior debts or obligations may be able to receive their transcript if the student received Title IV funds while in school and paid all institutional charges during a semester they received those funds. Parchment orders will be reviewed weekly to see if a transcript may be released due to a hold. If you have questions about your balance owed to the university and whether you may receive your transcript, please email [email protected].

Submit your completed Transcript Request form directly to the Records Office. Make sure to indicate “notary signature needed”. This process may take up to 5 business days but will vary due to university closings.
Note: MTSU cannot provide the apostille. Once your documents are printed and notarized, they will be mailed to you or you may ask to be notified for pick-up of your documents from the Records Office. The notarized documents must be taken to the Rutherford County Clerk’s Office, 319 N. Maple, Murfreesboro, (615) 898-7800, to have our notary verified, then presented to The State of Tennessee, Department of State, Division of Business Services, NTS Unit, 312 Eighth Avenue North, 6th Floor, Wm. R. Snodgrass Tower, Nashville, TN 37243, (615) 741-0536, to have the apostille completed.

Yes. Official transcripts can still be picked up immediately at the MT One Stop, SSAC 2nd floor. Five (5) maximum per request. There is no charge. The student must present complete transcript request form and a government or MTSU issued photo ID as proof of identity. Any transcript issued to a student will be stamped “issued to student”. Upon request, the transcript will be placed in a sealed envelope. It is the decision of the recipient if the transcript will be accepted as an official transcript.
