Closed College Transcript Requests
The New Mexico Higher Education Department (NMHED) maintains transcripts from certain closed private post-secondary institutions who have operated a physical site in New Mexico. A transcript request application and processing fee are required prior to release of a student transcript by NMHED. If the student's records are in NMHED's possession, a copy of the transcript and certificate or diploma copy (if available) will be provided via a secure email system. The email will include a time sensitive link and any files that the receiver wishes to keep should be downloaded before the link expires.
Before submitting a transcript application please ensure the closed college is included in the listing below.
