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 posts 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.
Students may access their unofficial transcripts through their myNSC Student Center free of charge. Students with “inactive” accounts (i.e., alumni, stopped attending) click here. If you continue to have log-in issues. Please contact the Office of Information Technology.
There are three options for ordering official transcripts:
Option 1: Official transcripts to be sent to another Nevada System of Higher Education ( NSHE ) Institution.
Option 3: Official transcripts ordered with a Transcript Request form
If neither of the options are applicable to you. Please contact registrar@nsc.edu for a PDF copy of the Transcript Request form to be sent to you.
Instructions: Once you have received the form. Completely fill out the request form and submit to the Office of the Registrar via postal mail with cash, check, or money order.

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.
