Transcripts

There are two ways to submit an official transcript from your high school or previous institution.

HOW UNOFFICIAL TRANSCRIPTS WILL BE USED

HCC will use unofficial transcripts/grade reports and TSI scores for initial advisement and placement purposes.

• Unofficial transcripts will only be used for the first semester of enrollment. 
• A transcript hold will be placed on your record until an official transcript is received in the Office of Student Records within the first semester of enrollment.
• To avoid having to submit two transcripts (both unofficial and official), students have the option to follow the steps above to submit official transcript(s).
