Transcript Requests

Unofficial Transcripts

Unofficial transcripts are available to students and alumni online, via BannerWeb. In cases where the unofficial transcript is not available on BannerWeb it is likely that there is a hold on the account.

Official Transcripts

Current and former LTU students can submit their transcript request through BannerWeb as long as they know their student ID number. There is no fee for this service. We cannot disclose student ID numbers over the phone, so if you do not remember your ID number please submit your written request as described below.

Official transcripts are also available upon written request (as required by federal guidelines) from the student or alumni member by filling out the Transcript Request Form. When filling out the hard copy transcript request form please fill in as many fields as possible. If you do not remember your student ID number you can leave it blank. If we have any questions we will make sure we contact you at the phone number you list on the form.

There is no fee to order an official transcript. The written request may be submitted via fax, email attachment, mail, or in person at the One Stop Center. Transcripts are available within 2 business days from the date received. If the student requests and it is possible to produce an immediate copy of their transcript, a $10 per copy processing fee applies.

Please be aware that any transcripts issued to students will be marked “Issued to Student.” For most colleges and universities to consider a transcript official, they require that the transcript be sent directly from the issuing institution to the receiving institution. If you submit a transcript marked “Issued to Student,” there is a chance that the receiving institution may not accept the transcript as official.

A note on account holds: Transcripts cannot be released to students who have a conversion hold on their account. For students who completed their course work prior to 2002 it is common for their accounts to have conversion holds . This type of hold was put on all accounts when LTU switched student management systems in 2002. To have this hold removed the student should submit a paper Transcript Request Form which will prompt a thorough review of their record and the removal of the hold. 

Official transcripts will not be released for international students in F-1 or J-1 visa status who have any pending financial obligations to the university.

Detroit Institute of Technology Records

Lawrence Technological University was issued custody of the academic records of the Detroit Institute of Technology by the Michigan Department of Education. As a result, requests for official transcripts for students of Detroit Institute of Technology should be made to Lawrence Technological University.

Official transcripts are available, upon written request from the student, and payment of a $5.00 transcript-processing fee per copy. The written request may be submitted via fax, mail, email attachment, or in person. Transcripts are available within 5 business days from the date received.

Any transcripts issued to students will be marked “Issued to Student.” For most colleges and universities to consider a transcript official, they require that the transcript be sent directly from the issuing institution. If you submit a transcript marked “Issued to Student,” there is a chance that the receiving institution may not accept the transcript as official.

Degree and Enrollment Verification

The Office of the Registrar can verify enrollment dates or degrees awarded for students. This can be accomplished in several ways:

  • Official Transcript
  • Verification Letter Request
  • National Student Clearinghouse (NSC) – Third Party Access
  • National Student Clearinghouse (NSC) – Student Access

Official Transcript

Students may request a copy of their official transcript , which will list the courses in progress. Once the student has graduated, the degree awarded along with the graduation date, will also be documented on the official transcript. 

There is no fee to order an official transcript. The written request may be submitted via fax, email attachment, mail, or in person at the One Stop Center . Transcripts are available within two business days from the date received. If the student requests, and it is possible to produce an immediate copy of their transcripts, a $10 per copy processing fee applies.

In some cases, students may use the unofficial transcript produced from BannerWeb .

Verification Letter Request

The student should complete the Verification Letter Request Form  and submit via fax, mail, email attachment, or in person to the One Stop Center . There is a $5.00 processing fee and minimum two business day processing time for letter requests. If the student requests and it is possible to produce an immediate verification letter, a $20.00 per copy processing fee applies.

National Student Clearinghouse (NSC) – Third Party Access

The purpose of the National Student Clearinghouse (NSC) is to proactively enhance the overall student loan program and to simplify the enrollment and degree verification process. All third party enrollment and degree verification requests to Lawrence Technological University should be submitted via the NSC.

Lawrence Tech has signed a contract, appointing the NSC as the institution’s agent for purposes of confirming enrollment status and degrees awarded to student financial aid recipients. Routinely, the Office of the Registrar will report the enrollment status of its students to the NSC. The NSC is then responsible for providing status and deferment information, on behalf of Lawrence Technological University, to guaranty agencies, lenders, servicers and the Department of Education’s National Student Data System.

FERPA for Students

FERPA is the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act

Also known as the Buckley Amendment of 1974.

What does FERPA do?

  • Allows students certain rights
  • Says that an institution can only disclose information about a student with the student’s written consent
  • Says a student can request NO information EVER be given out about them, including directory information
  • EXCEPTION: It says that an institution may disclose without a student’s written consent, items considered DIRECTORY INFORMATION

What is Directory Information at LTU?

What information can I give out? (WITHOUT a student’s consent, unless they are marked “Confidential” in Banner)

  • Student name
  • Dates of Attendance
  • Major field of study
  • Class level (junior, graduate, etc.)
  • Degrees awarded
  • Honors/ Awards received or earned
  • Anticipated degree date
  • Confirmation that a student is enrolled here (enrollment status)

Students can expect privacy related to their educational records. This means that information from a student’s educational record can be shared within the University among appropriate school officials. School officials are defined as any person employed by the University in an administrative, supervisory, academic or research, or support staff position (including campus law enforcement personnel and health/counseling personnel); a person or company with whom the university has contracted as its agent to provide a service instead of using university employees or officials (such as an attorney, auditor or collection agent); a student serving on an official committee, such as a disciplinary or grievance committee or assisting another school official in performing his/her tasks; and members of official college and University committees-all  having “legitimate educational interests” in the records.

This also means that once a student is enrolled at Lawrence Tech, that under typical circumstances, the information in the educational record cannot be shared with anyone outside the University, other than the student. So, if a student’s spouse, parent or sibling contacts the University asking for information about the student, the caller will be asked to have the student call themselves for the information as we are unable to disclose information to anyone else. The only exception to this federal regulation is if the student has completed the Authorization to Disclose Information form and submitted it to the One Stop Center. On this form the student can give permission and set up an access PIN for relatives and/or guardians who they wish to also have full account access. Questions regarding this policy should be directed to the Office of the Registrar.
