Official Transcripts

All students may order official transcripts through the National Student Clearinghouse for $4 per transcript plus a $2.25 handling fee per address. A credit card and email address are required. Students who are sending transcripts to colleges within the Nevada System of Higher Education (UNR, UNLV, TMCC, GBC, CSN, NSC) are not charged a fee to send an electronic transcript.

Unofficial Transcripts

Current students or any student with an active myWNC account may access an unofficial transcript free of charge through myWNC.

Degree/certificate seeking students need to request that official copies of transcripts from other schools, testing or other training sources be sent directly to WNC Admissions and Records. They also need to submit a Petition for Transfer Credit Evaluation form. Allow up to 2-4 weeks for the evaluation to be processed. When completed, an email will be sent to the student, who will be able to view their transfer credit in myWNC and run a degree audit report to determine how transfer credits apply toward their intended degree or certificate program.

Students should check the Course Catalog to ensure they have met the prerequisites for the classes they intend to enroll in; it is the student’s responsibility to ensure that prerequisites are met.

Students currently enrolled at WNC in a class that fulfills a prerequisite may enroll in the subsequent class. If the prerequisite class is not successfully completed, the student may be dropped from the subsequent class that required the prerequisite.  For further assistance, contact Counseling Services.

There are a number of factors used to determine residency. Information and applications to change residency status may be found at online.

Degree/certificate seeking students must maintain a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.0. Students who do not meet this requirement will be placed on academic probation and will need to meet with a counselor in order to register for classes.
