Records & Transcripts

North Seattle College students and alumni can access official and unofficial transcripts.

Official transcripts are used for certification of earned credits and degrees and bear the registrar's signature. There is a fee associated with each transcript. It takes about 3-4 business days to process official transcript requests.

Unofficial transcripts are free and may be accessed an unlimited number of times. Unofficial transcripts are used for viewing purposes and are not an official document.

How to Read Your Transcript

North transcripts, particularly those produced prior to July 1988, may contain letter codes which are unfamiliar or obsolete. For help in deciphering abbreviations and codes, refer to Transcripts Legend.
