There are times when a high school transcript may be required for admission purposes. Should an additional transcript be required, all transcript requests will be made through MyCSC To-Do notifications.

Concurrent Enrollment

Concurrent enrollment occurs when a student is enrolled in courses at Chadron State College (CSC) and another college or university during the same academic term.

Students enrolled at another institution must submit an official in-progress transcript prior to enrollment at CSC. Students applying for federal financial aid who are concurrently enrolled at another institution must also submit a Concurrent Enrollment Form along with the official in‑progress transcript.

Official In-Progress Transcript

An official in-progress transcript is a document from the school or college that shows the courses completed and the courses currently in-progress.

An official, in-progress transcript may be used when final grades or degrees have not been earned but are needed to show academic progress for purposes of enrollment or a transcript evaluation. If an official in-progress transcript is used for enrollment purposes, a completed, official transcript will still be required showing final grades and must be received prior to the next term of enrollment at CSC.  (See Transcript Due Dates and Priority Deadlines for more information.)

Official Transcript

An official transcript is a document from the school or college that shows all the courses taken, grades earned, and any degrees or certificates received.

To be official, it must be sent directly from the school (institution granting credit) to Chadron State College, either by mail in a sealed envelope or electronically through a secure service to transcript@csc.edu. If a sealed transcript is opened or sent from the student to CSC, it is no longer official.

Unofficial Transcript

An unofficial transcript is a digital copy of an academic record that contains the same information as an official transcript (name of institution, student name, courses, grades, GPA) but is not received directly from the school or college.

Examples of Unofficial Transcripts

• PDF downloaded or printed to PDF from the student portal
• Scanned or printed copies of a transcript
• An official transcript sent to CSC by anyone other than the school attended

The following formats do not count as unofficial transcripts: typed lists of courses or grades created by the student, degree audits or transfer credit evaluations, progress or midterm reports without grades, screenshots, or photos of a computer screen showing coursework.

Under certain circumstances, unofficial transcripts may be used to assist academic advisors in determining course schedules or enrollment for new students and requires pre-approval by the Registrar, Vice President of Academic Affairs, or Vice President of Enrollment Management.

Students may not omit any part of their previous college records, whether part-time or full-time, with or without degree objectives, whether or not credit has been granted, or whether or not they desire to transfer credit. Chadron State reserves the right to use the National Student Clearinghouse and/or the National Student Loan Data System to verify that students have accurately disclosed their academic history. Failure to disclose a complete collegiate record may result in denial of admission and/or federal financial aid or dismissal from Chadron State College.
