Congratulations! You've worked hard here at NSC and now it's time to get recognized. Before you put on your cap and gown at commencement, follow this checklist to ensure you are on the right track to getting your diploma.
You must have an expected senior standing at the time of your application. In other words, your earned credits plus the credits you are currently enrolled in should equal 90 or more and 75% of your degree requirements have been completed. This should occur approximately 2 academic semesters before your anticipated final semester.
Note: Graduation requirements are determined based on the requirements in effect in your catalog year.
If you do not anticipate completing your degree requirements in the semester you applied for, you must submit a completed Graduation Update Notification E-Form.
Please visit www.nsc.edu/commencement for more information.
NSC post degrees 3 times per academic year. Degree posting dates are at the end of each term. Spring and Fall degree posting dates are the last day of the regular semester. In the summer, the last day of the term is the end of the 14-week summer session.
Diplomas are ordered once all semester grades have been posted, remaining transcripts have been submitted and entered, and degrees have been posted to the student account. Diplomas will be mailed to graduates from the vendor approximately 12 weeks after they are ordered. Students should ensure that their address is accurate with the Office of the Registrar, as diplomas are mailed to the current address on record. Students with outstanding financial obligations will not receive their diploma until all such obligations have been met. Please note that we do not automatically send transcripts to outside agencies, such as licensing boards. A transcript request must be submitted along with the appropriate fees.
**Please note: Transcripts that are being sent directly to an NSHE Institution (UNR, UNLV, WNC, GBC, TMCC, & CSN) are sent electronically. These transcripts are sent free of charge. Go to the National Student Clearinghouse (listed below) to request an electronic transcript to be sent.**
There are two options for ordering official transcripts:
Option 1: Official transcripts ordered online through the National Student Clearinghouse
Order a transcript online from the National Student Clearinghouse. Search for Nevada State College and click continue. Follow the instructions given to proceed through your transcript request. You can track your order by going here. Please note: a $2.25 service fee applies in addition to all online requests through this site.
Option 2: Official transcripts ordered with a Transcript Request form
Transcript Request Form
Instruction: Completely fill out the request form and submit to the Office of the Registrar in person or postal mail with cash, check, or money order.
**Please make checks payable to: Board of Regents
Unofficial Transcripts
Students may access their unofficial transcripts through their myNSC Student Center. In the academics section select "Transcript View Unofficial" from the drop down menu. In the section labeled Report Type select "Unofficial Transcript" and then click View Report.
Students with “inactive” accounts (i.e., alumni, stopped attending) click here.
All students are considered out-of-state residents at the time of admission to NSC. Students must submit a completed Residency Application, with supporting documentation, in order for the Office of the Registrar to consider a reclassification of residency status. The Residency Application lists each of the available pathways to obtaining residency (e.g. WUE, Armed Services, etc.). Read the application carefully to determine which category best applies to your situation. Copying services are not provided by the Office of the Registrar. Please make sure to provide copies of all your documents before submitting them to this office.
If you are a veteran, spouse, or dependent of a veteran, please see the Veterans, Spouses and Dependents: Information Request Form for Determination of Tuition Charges to determine if you qualify under one of its categories for residency purposes.
Residency Application: (PDF)
For applicants and admitted students who wish to establish Nevada residency for tuition purposes. WUE no longer has a separate application as it is now included in the Residency Application.
Application and supporting documents may be scanned and e-mailed (PDF format), mailed, faxed, or hand delivered. Faxed documents may be returned if copies are unreadable.

We adhere to FERPA law in regards to student confidentiality. FERPA stands for the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974. It is federal law designed to protect the privacy of education records. It also provides guidelines for appropriately using and releasing student education records. To view our FERPA Policy, please go here.
Completed forms may be turned in to the Office of the Registrar in person, by fax, e-mail, or postal mail. Incomplete or illegible forms will not be processed.
Some forms such as appeals and petitions may only be obtained with departmental permission. Please contact the specific schools or departments for additional information. Some forms are available in paper form at the Registrar's Office. Please contact us if you need a paper form instead.
The Office of the Registrar performs initial transfer credit evaluation according to policies established by the college and by the Nevada System of Higher Education.
A student who wishes to contest the outcome of his or her transfer course evaluation (i.e. the course was found not to be equivalent to a Nevada State College course or not satisfy a particular requirement) may submit a petition for curriculum substitution to the Office of Petitions.
The petition must include supporting documents (e.g. course description, syllabus) and other pertinent material related to the course in order to ensure a thorough review and consideration of the petition.
The Office of Petitions will route the petition to the department/school that teaches the course or in-charge of the course discipline. The department chair/designee will make the decision to approve/deny the petition.
If the petition is denied, the student may submit an appeal to the dean of the school. If the dean upholds the denial and the student continues to disagree with the decision, the student may submit an appeal to the provost. The decision of the provost/designee will be final.
Denied petitions will be given a reason for the denial via email.
Students who are not satisfied with the final decision by NSC may request a review of a transfer credit evaluation by the NSHE Articulation Coordinating Committee by submitting the Nevada System of Higher Education Transfer Credit Request for Review.
The Nevada Board of Regents provides a waiver of certain fees for former Nevada foster youth who meet eligibility requirements. An NSHE institution may waive registration fees and certain laboratory fees in fall and spring semesters for eligible students pursuant to Title 4, Chapter 17, Section 13 of the Handbook.
