Transfer Into NHCC

E-transcripts from other Minnesota State Colleges and Universities will be automatically retrieved for your convenience.

Check the Minnesota State College and University system list of schools if you're not sure if your previous college is part of the system. 

If the college you're currently attending or previously attended is outside of the Minnesota State College and University system, you need to arrange to have official college transcripts and/or official records from the institution sent directly to NHCC.

For questions about ordering official transcripts, reach out to your current or previous college or university.

Sending electronically:

• If placing an order through Parchment or the National Student Clearinghouse, select North Hennepin Community College as the recipient.

Students who completed college credits in another country must order a course-by-course evaluation from a NACES member credential evaluation agency. These services are independent from NHCC and are provided for the convenience of NHCC students. Students are responsible for contacting the appropriate credential evaluation agency for any questions regarding their evaluation request. Students should arrange for the evaluation report to be sent to NHCC for further evaluation. NHCC accepts evaluation reports from any NACES member credential evaluation agency. Below are examples of credential evaluation agencies that NHCC students use to evaluate their international credits.
