  What is the difference between an Official and Unofficial transcript?

  Official transcripts are prepared by a college bearing their official seal and provided in a sealed envelope.  If the envelope is opened by anyone other than an official at the receiving college, it is no longer considered official.

  Unofficial transcripts is a record of college classes taken including grades received.  The document can be produced by the college or student, but does not have a raised college seal.  It may also be a transcript that bears the official seal, but is not in the original sealed envelope. These transcripts can be emailed or faxed to NVCC.

Concerned about paying for college? All degree-seeking students are encouraged to apply for financial aid. While not everyone will qualify for assistance, a student should never assume he or she is ineligible without applying first. Apply for financial aid each academic year that you wish to be considered.

The FAFSA is now available as early as October 1 for the following academic year--NVCC's federal school code is 006982

One of the most important tips for getting started is to apply for financial aid early.
