How does a student or Alumni request an official transcript?
Current students and Graduates from 2007 and forward can view and submit transcript requests online via Banner Student Self-Service. Alumni can submit a Transcript Request form to the Office of the Registrar via mail or fax. There is no charge for transcripts.
Please note: We can not process transcript requests for students or alumni with holds.
I need to obtain residency information for a physician. Who should I contact?
The Office of the Registrar does not maintain residency information. The residency program is coordinated in the office of Graduate Medical Education. See below for contact information.

Can I place an order for, or pick up a transcript for someone else?
A transcript is a confidential document, only the person to whom they belong can request them. However, students can submit a signed request and indicate in the request that their transcript(s) may be picked up by a designated third party.
What is the turnaround time for requests submitted to the Office of the Registrar?
Requests are processed in two to three business days after receipt. Exceptions are made for items that arrive via Express Mail or FedEx. All FedEx and Express Mail request are mailed out the same day or within 24 hours.
What if I need a request expedited, via mail?
Those needing requests expedited may forward a pre-paid FedEx or Express Mail and we will gladly expedite your request to its destination. One can also contact Student Financial Services at 615-327-6220, to make arrangements to pay for Express Mail via the Payment Option form prior to submitting the request to the Office of the Registrar. The request will be processed once we have received notification that the payment has been processed and approved. Those choosing this option have to note that the mail has been paid for on the request.
How do I change my name?
A currently enrolled student may file a request for a name change with the Office of the Registrar. A notarized Name Change Request form must be accompanied by supporting documentation such as:
-
Birth Certificate
-
Court Order
-
Divorce Decree
-
Marriage Certificate
Please note: A driver's license or social security card is not valid documentation for a name change. When the request for a name change is approved, the change will be made in the Banner system. Once students leave the College, no further name changes can be made to the academic record.
I can’t access Banner Student Self-Service. What should I do?
Students experiencing technical issues with Banner should contact the Office of Information technology for assistance. On campus you can dial HELP and off campus (615) 327-6231. They can assist you with accessing the system and resetting your password. In the event that you can not reach the Help Desk to have your password reset, contact the Office of the Registrar for assistance.
For additional information regarding the options in Banner Student Self-Service, refer to the Banner Student Self-Service User Instructions.
How do I know when I have completed the registration process?
The registration process is not complete until you have been registered for courses, assessed fees, and your balance is paid in full. To assess your registration status, you can log onto Banner Student Self-Service to view all courses you are registered for, your Financial Aid status, and your account Balance.
Please note: Submission of your schedule to Academic Affairs does not validate your registration. If holds exist, the form will not be processed. It is the student’s responsibility to take care of all outstanding holds prior to registration.
My lender needs to know that I am enrolled. How can I notify them of my enrollment status?
Meharry Medical College participates in the National Student Loan Clearinghouse located in Herndon, Virginia. Every thirty days the Office of the Registrar submits a student enrollment status report to the Clearinghouse, which in turn supplies verification of enrollment to lending agencies.
A large number of lenders and loan servicing organizations that are members of the Clearinghouse participate in a Paperless Deferment Process. With this process, no paper forms need to be completed by either students or schools—the student simply calls his or her lender to request a deferment. The lender then matches this request against the Clearinghouse electronic data and verifies the in-school status of the student. If a lender does not participate in the Paperless Deferment Process and needs a paper deferment form completed, the form should be submitted to the Registrar’s Office.
Students who register late will not be included in the College’s initial submissions to the Clearinghouse for the semester. However, they will appear in the next regular submission.
How many graduation dates does Meharry Medical College have?
Meharry Medical College currently has four graduation dates:

How can I obtain a certified copy of my diploma?
