I'm ready to transfer from Bergen Community College and need my transcript. Can anyone tell me how to request it and how long it normally takes to receive?
There's generally a streamlined process for requesting your transcript from Bergen Community College. Here are the steps:
1. You need to log in to the Bergen Portal. If you can't remember your username or password, there's an option to retrieve both on the portal login page.
2. Once you're logged in, navigate to the "Self Service" tab.
3. Under "Academic Information," there should be an option to request your transcript.
4. You'll typically be asked to specify where you want the transcript sent. If you're transferring to another college or university, provide their Admissions Office's address. You might also need to provide other details like your college student ID number.
As for the time it takes, it can vary. It usually depends on the processing time at Bergen Community College itself and the delivery method you select. Electronic transcripts are typically quicker (often within 1-3 business days). If you're requesting a physical copy, it'll often take longer (1-2 weeks).
Remember to keep a check on any outstanding financial obligations to the college before you request the transcript, as this can delay the process. If there is anything preventing the release of your transcripts, the college's Registrar's Office should be able to help you resolve those issues.
I hope this helps and good luck with your transfer!
