Unofficial transcripts can be obtained by accessing Self Service. The Records Office does not provide unofficial transcripts. Certificate and degree information will not be included in an unofficial transcript. Only Official transcripts obtained from the Records Office will include the posting of certificates and degrees.

Official Transcripts include:

• Course work taken at SSC
• Degree and certificate conferrals
• Honors

Transcripts will not reflect the student’s full social security number. The name last known to the college will appear as the name on the record. Unofficial transcripts can be obtained by students with active Self-Service accounts.

Students with foreign transcripts must have transcripts (high school and/or college) evaluated by Educational Credentials Evaluators, Inc. (ECE) prior to the first semester of attendance at SSC and are responsible for the payment of any ECE evaluation fees.
