Submit Your Transcript

Some North Carolina public high schools have the capability to submit transcripts electronically when you apply online through the North Carolina Window of Information on Student Education system. We encourage you to visit your school counselor to verify coursework and grades prior to requesting an electronic transcript. To send an electronic transcript, you must:

• Complete the NCCU online application.
• Make sure you have entered the following information in your profile and/or application:
• First and last name
• Date of birth
• NC WISE ID (Your NCWISE ID is your public high school student identifier number. Providing the NC WISE ID is voluntary and, if provided, will give you the opportunity to request your high school transcript electronically.)
• Gender
• Current high school
• Email address
• Be currently enrolled at a participating public high school in North Carolina (one that has converted from the SIMS system to the NC WISE system to manage student data). If you are not sure about your school, check with your school counselor or office staff.

NOTES: We cannot accept faxes in lieu of official documents.
