How to Transfer Transcripts from Montgomery College

I'm a student at Montgomery College and need to transfer my transcripts to another institution. What is the process for doing this, and are there any fees or paperwork I should be aware of?

To send your Montgomery College transcripts to another institution, you can follow these steps:

1. First, log into My MC. This is where all online tasks related to Montgomery College are managed.

2. Once you've logged in, navigate to the "Student" tab.

3. There, look for a sub-tab or option titled "Student Quick Links" and select it.

4. Under "Student Quick Links," find and click on the "Request a Transcript" link.

5. You'll be directed to another page where you can enter the information about where you want your transcripts sent.

Montgomery College uses the National Student Clearinghouse for transcript requests, so you might need to navigate through their portals as well.

In terms of costs, as of now, the standard fee for each transcript sent is $10, and it's $15 if you request to have it sent overnight. There might be additional processing fees depending on the nature of your request and the method of delivery.

Remember to double-check the recipient college's admission page to ensure you're sending the transcripts to the correct department and address. Also keep in mind that if you have any kind of "hold" on your Montgomery College account (such as library fines, unpaid parking tickets, etc.), you might not be able to request your transcript until the hold is resolved.

It's also important to note that you should make this request well in advance of any deadlines as processing times can vary, typically between 5-10 business days.

In general, colleges will usually request an official transcript, which has to be mailed directly by Montgomery College to ensure authenticity. Transcripts sent by the student will not usually be accepted as official by the receiving institution. However, if you need an unofficial self-view, you can also print one off from your My MC account.

Transferring transcripts is generally a straightforward process, but don't hesitate to get in touch with the Montgomery College Records and Registration Office if you have any questions or encounter any problems. They would be more than happy to assist you!
