Academic Records
The Registrar’s Office issues official transcripts. A transcript is an official copy of the student’s academic record showing credit hours and grades of work completed in the college division of NEC. NEC cannot issue transcripts of work completed at any other school or institution.
Official transcripts may be sent to designated institutions or issued directly to students. There is a fee per transcript request; the first transcript is always free. (See Fees.) Transcripts may be ordered online through the National Student Clearinghouse, and delivered electronically or through the mail. Transcripts to be mailed may also be ordered using a paper form found on our website and submitted with payment to the Registrar’s Office. If a transcript is requested and the requestor has an outstanding financial hold at the Conservatory, the requestor will be notified and asked to resolve the hold.
Current students may view their unofficial transcripts in their student portal. Former students may only request official transcripts.
NEC recognizes students’ right to examine their educational records and control access by others in accordance with the Family Education Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), passed by the U.S. Congress in 1974. The full text of NEC’s FERPA policy can be found on our website.
