Types of Transcripts
Please note that there are two types of transcripts, official and unofficial. Unofficial transcripts are printed on plain paper and do not have a college seal or registrar’s signature. Because of this, they cannot be used when transferring to another college or university or when providing proof of education to a perspective employer. Because of this important distinction, Official Transcripts take time to process while Unofficial Transcripts are typically available on demand.
Requesting an Unofficial Transcript

Step 2. On the Request a Transcript page, scroll down and select the myClarkState link as indicated below.
