Transcripts

Nevada State University needs to receive official copies of all coursework completed at any previously attended institution.

Nevada State accepts official transcripts via two methods – paper or electronic.

  • Please contact your previous institution to see exactly how to request an electronic transcript.
  • Nevada State currently accepts official electronic transcripts via Parchment, National Student Clearinghouse, Scriborder, and SCOIR. Please check with your school’s registrar’s office to see if they use one of these electronic services.

    If your school only provides transcripts through Parchment and the drop-down menu option is [email protected] your transcript will be considered “Official” and will be accepted.

    Admissions will not accept transcripts sent to Nevada State staff email addresses or electronic third-party services outside of those listed above. Transcripts will be considered official only when sent directly from the institution.

  • If mailed, please send to 1300 Nevada State Drive, Henderson, NV 89002

Transcripts submitted to Nevada State become the property of Nevada State and will not be released to students, other colleges, or agencies. Please plan to request a personal copy from your former college or university if you need one for your own records.

International Transcripts

Are you a United States citizen or Permanent resident, and have a college education from abroad? Those may be used towards completion of your degree at Nevada State University.

Please note: Nevada State is currently not issuing I-20 for F-1 Visa purposes. If you require an I-20, please do not submit an application.

To complete your journey to becoming a Nevada State Scorpion, we ask that you complete the following steps.

  • Send your official documents to an evaluating agency
  • Request a course by course evaluation from the company selected
  • Pay any required fees and have the official evaluation sent to Nevada State
  • You will need to also submit an official copy of your original documents, such as a transcript or marksheet, to our Admissions Office. The original documents DO NOT need to be translated.  Your evaluation will NOT be reviewed until an official copy is sent to our school.

If you have any issues with finding an evaluating agency, we do not specifically endorse any, but here are a few suggestions that may help you get started.
