Frequently Asked Questions

What type of transcript can I request through the National Student Clearinghouse?

You may order either your Curriculum (credit classes) or your Continuing Education (non-credit classes) through this service.

*If you need your Adult High School transcript for high school courses taken at Cape Fear Community College, do not request a transcript here but rather visit the Academic and Career Readiness website to find the form and instructions to request your Adult High School transcript. Note: High School transcripts from traditional/private high schools should be requested from those schools

How long does it take?

Transcript requests are processed in the order that they are received. Unless you have an outstanding financial obligation to Cape Fear Community College or another hold on your records, requested transcripts are usually electronically sent in minutes or mailed in 1-2 business days via the US Postal Service with first-class postage. The way you request and the way the sender can receive will determine if it will go electronically or via postal mail. Postal mail time does not include the delivery time which will depend on where the transcripts are being sent and the timeliness of the US Postal Service for which we have no control. Processing may take longer during peak times (e.g., the beginning and end of each semester).

Who can request official transcripts?

Only students can request the release of official transcripts.

What if I have an outstanding financial obligation to the college?

If you submit a request for official transcripts and you have any outstanding obligations, the system will allow you to continue your request and you will allowed 30 days to clear the hold. If the hold is cleared in that 30 days, your transcript will update and send within 24 hours as long as no other issues are determined.
