I went to UW Marinette/Sheboygan/Manitowoc, where do I get those transcripts?

If you attended one of the UW Marinette, Shebogyan, or Manitowoc campuses prior to the Fall 2019 semester, you will have to order your transcript from UW Colleges.

All your records from each of the campus locations are all on one transcript. You only need to order once.
