The Registrar’s Office holds student records. Our staff oversees registration, grades and transcripts, enrollment verification, transfer credit evaluation, and graduation. We also handle veteran and athletic certification.
Note: This does not replace myMountMercy. These forms are only for use during situations in which you cannot use myMountMercy. Online registration is always preferable to forms.
Student athletes will no longer be required to have Athletic Director permission before making schedule changes. The Athletic Department will use other reports to monitor eligibility.
The Registrar’s Office provides unofficial and official copies of transcripts. Please note any release of an academic record requires the student's signature.

Annually, Mount Mercy informs students of the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974. This Act was designated to protect the privacy of education records, to establish the rights of students to inspect and review their education records, and to provide guidelines for the correction of inaccurate or misleading data through informal and formal hearing process. Students also have the right to file complaints with the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act Office (FERPA) concerning alleged failures by the institution to comply with the Act. For more detailed information or questions concerning the Family Education Rights and Privacy Act, please contact the Registrar's Office.
