Ordering an Official Transcript

Millsaps partners with the National Student Clearinghouse to provide official transcripts. Students and alumni can request an electronic or paper transcript from the clearinghouse here. The first time you request an official transcript, you will be required to set up a username and password. The clearinghouse website will walk you through placing your order, including any associated fees. Additionally, the Clearinghouse will send you updates as your order progresses through the process, including when the transcript is sent.

Please note that Millsaps College archives transcripts from the following institutions: Millsaps College (1890-present), Wood College (a college in existence from 1886-2003), Grenada College (a college in existence from 1882-1950) and Whitworth College (a college in existence from 1858-1928 with transcripts also archived at the Lincoln County Public Library). Both Millsaps College and Wood College transcripts can be ordered from the Clearinghouse. For Wood College students only, fill out the first couple of pages of information and on the optional page, please check “Wood College.” For transcripts from the other institutions, please contact the Office of Records at Millsaps College at [email protected].

Ordering an Unofficial Transcript

Unofficial transcripts are only available for Millsaps College alumni. Unofficial transcripts are free of charge and are printed on standard white paper with an unofficial stamp across each page. Unofficial transcripts can be faxed, mailed, emailed or picked up in person with a photo ID.

You must submit your request in writing with your signature; see request form.

Current students can access their unofficial transcript on Major Portal. Once you log in to Major Portal, click “Student Planning.” A new menu will come up. From that screen, on the top there will be a student planning menu that looks like arrows. Open it up and click “Unofficial Transcript.”

Enrollment and Education Verifications

Procedure for Requests

For Third Parties: The Office of Records provides enrollment/education verifications to third parties without a student’s signature, in full compliance with FERPA’s Directory Information. Companies should email [email protected] or fax their request to 601.974.1114. A signed release from the student is required if GPA information is requested.

For Current Students: To request an enrollment/education verification, login to Major Portal and click “Enrollment Verifications.” Once you come to the next screen, click “add new request.” Fill out the fields and click submit. The Office of Records will then process your request. If you want us to add information to the letter such as your academic standing or GPA, please write in the “comments” field what additional information you need before submitting the request. If you plan on picking up the letter yourself instead of us sending it out, please mention that as well.

For Previous Students: Request an enrollment/education verification by filling out this form.

Please note that it is the policy of Millsaps College to not provide pre-enrollment education verification letters for students who plan to attend Millsaps but have not yet attended. Thank you for your understanding.
