How to Request an Official Transcript
National Student Clearinghouse
To complete your transfer credit process, you must request that your official transcripts be sent directly to Rasmussen University. You will receive email notifications alerting you when your transcripts are received and credits post to your account.
It is your responsibility to ensure that all official transcripts have been received by the University. Additional evaluations may apply.
Many colleges work with the National Student Clearinghouse, a secure 24/7 online order system, to help you order and process transcript requests. Click on the button below if you're ready to request your transcript.
Can't Find What You're Looking For?
Every institution is different and has their own process for requesting and sending transcripts. If you are having trouble finding your school or transcript on the National Student Clearinghouse website, we recommend contacting your previous school directly for more information. Or, you can contact one of our admissions advisors to walk you through how to request your transcript and answer any other transfer policy questions you may have.
