I'm currently attending Bellevue College and thinking about transferring. Can anyone explain how the transcript transfer process works here? Also, are there any specific deadlines or steps I should be aware of?
The process of transferring your Bellevue College transcript to another college begins with you deciding which school you want to transfer to and understanding their admission requirements. Transcripts requests at Bellevue College are processed through the National Student Clearinghouse, which can be accessed via the Bellevue College website under the 'Transcript Requests' section.
Here are the steps to follow:
1. Visit Bellevue College's website and navigate to the 'Request Transcripts' page.
2. Click on the link for the National Student Clearinghouse. This will take you to their website.
3. Follow the prompts to place your order. You will need to provide some basic information about yourself and the recipient institution.
4. Pay for each transcript. The cost per transcript may vary, so be sure to check the current prices.
5. After you place your order, the National Student Clearinghouse will handle the rest. They will send your transcript directly to the institution you're transferring to.
As far as deadlines, these will be specific to the college you're applying to. Deadlines can vary greatly from college to college, so it's crucial to research this ahead of time. When it comes to transcript requests, it's always better to make the request earlier than later to account for potential delays.
Please note that should any holds exist on your account due to unpaid tuition, fees, or fines, these must be settled before your transcript can be released.
Lastly, don't forget to follow up with the recipient institution to confirm that your transcript was received.
