*A hard copy (paper) college transcript is considered official if it comes to the Pratt CC Registrar or Assistant Registrar in an unopened envelope sealed by the sending institution. The document itself should contain the signature or seal of the Registrar from the sending institution. For electronic transcripts, they must be received through eScrip-Safe, Parchment, National Student Clearinghouse or any other nationally recognized e-Delivery system.
Any transcripts that do not meet this criteria can still be used for advising and enrollment, but cannot be used to transfer college credit.
A paper high school transcript is considered official if it comes to the Registrar’s office in an unopened envelope sealed by the sending institution. Electronic transmissions are official if received through National Clearinghouse or Parchment. PCC's COVID-19 exception allows an email submission of a high school transcript sent to registrar@prattcc.edu to be considered official if it is sent by a high school official such as the Counselor, Principal or Registrar, and sent from their official school email address to registrar@prattcc.edu. It must also contain a graduation date and a signature from your school's administrator. Please note that transcripts with projected (future) graduations are NOT considered official.
For GED’s, you may request an official transcript from the testing facility or your state’s education governing body.
If you are home-schooled, please check with your state’s department of education for rules on creating official transcripts to insure recognition from secondary education institutions.
PCC does accept hand-carried SEALED transcripts. However, the Registrar does reserve the right to validate the information with the sending institution.
