Why are official transcripts (sent directly from the college) important to my MiRegistry membership? How much do they cost?
Official transcripts are important for your membership because they:

• Allow MiRegistry to verify any degree(s); capture the number of completed credits; and classify credits into early childhood, child related, and business categories.
• Verify education and degree information to support Great Start to Quality.
• Support child care licensing consultants’ verification of education and related coursework for position qualification.
• Recognize an individual’s highest level of education and related credits to support career pathway placement.

MiRegistry requires official transcripts to prevent academic fraud and maintain the integrity of MiRegistry and its members. Requiring official transcripts is also necessary to meet national standards and best practices and enable MiRegistry to participate in national studies that benefit the early childhood and afterschool workforce.

To submit official transcripts to MiRegistry, request your college or university send your official transcripts directly to MiRegistry in an unopened, originally sealed envelope to our mailing address. MiRegistry will also accept your official transcripts via a secure email from your college or university if they offer an electronic version of your official transcripts. Your college or university can email us at support@miregistry.org.

The cost for official transcripts may vary. Below is a chart showing some examples of the cost of ordering your official transcripts.
