Transcripts

Unofficial Transcripts are available at no charge from the University Student Records Office. Unofficial transcripts contain the same information as official transcripts, including coursework, grades, and degrees earned. However, unofficial transcripts are printed on plain paper and do not have the NMSU seal or the University Registrar’s signature.

You can order an unofficial transcript by e-mail (records@nmsu.edu), fax (575-646-1579), or in person at the University Student Records Office (located in the Educational Services Building). Please be sure to include:

  • Name and Phone Number
  • Aggie ID or last four digits of your SSN
  • Birthdate (month and date)
  • Request for an unofficial transcript
  • Please provide the fax and/or email of the location where you wish the unofficial transcript to be sent
  • YOUR SIGNATURE AND DATE (scanned and attached/cut and paste)

Orders placed at the Office are printed on demand.

Questions and Answers about Electronic Transcripts for Recipients

An Apostille confirms that a document is authentic (or apostilled). Apostilles are most often needed by students who are working outside the United States of America and international students. The University Student Records Office offers notary services for official transcripts, diplomas, and enrollment verifications.

When the request is received, the staff will print the requested document(s), procure the signature of the University Registrar and notarize it. The document(s) and notary statement will be mailed first class back to the specified address. The recipient will then need to send the information to the State of New Mexico Secretary’s Office for the Apostille.

The Apostille process does take some time, both to produce the original document and for you to send and receive your documents from the State of New Mexico. Begin this process as soon as possible.

Note: Still living in Las Cruces? You can order any or all of the following notarized documents in University Student Records, in the Educational Services Building on the Las Cruces Campus.

Please see the State of New Mexico Apostille Information for steps to complete after you have receive the notarized documents from New Mexico State University:
