Transcript Processing

  • Recent study abroad

    We must receive the official transcript from our partner university abroad before classes and grades for your term abroad can be entered in CaneLink and appear on your UM transcript. In some cases, this may be well after course grades are visible to the student at your study abroad institution. 

    While some institutions provide official transcripts directly to our office, there are many institutions that require the student to request an official transcript to be sent to our office. Normal processing time, once we receive your official study abroad transcript, is three to five business days.

  • Obtaining transcripts for past study abroad

    For your UM transcript, you may access your unofficial transcript on CaneLink. If you require an official transcript, you need to follow the UM Registrar process for ordering transcripts.

    For a copy of a UM partner institution transcript, you will need to follow their process to request an official transcript. If you are unable to find this information on the partner institution's website, you may contact the appropriate study abroad advisor to inquire about the procedure. Allow for processing time. In many cases, we will need to contact the partner institution before we will be able to provide an answer.
