The MCC Registrar's Office serves students, staff, faculty and the community by providing exceptional support and service in the following areas:

  • Processing and maintaining accurate, detailed and updated student records pertaining to credit courses
  • Processing of transcript requests and transcript evaluations
  • Providing academic enrollment verification information
  • Processing and confirming graduation applications

Registrar Forms

GED transcripts and diplomas must be sent to the appropriate department requesting them. The Registrar's Office does not retain GED credentials to forward to our Financial Aid Office if there is no indication of where they need to be sent to.

Apostille Authentication of Academic Records

Students who need to present MCC academic credentials (diploma or transcripts) for use abroad must follow the steps below. All fees involved with authenticating academic records are paid by the student.

Step 1: Order a copy of a diploma and/or transcripts

Step 2: MCC Notarization

The diploma or official transcript is notarized by the MCC Registrar’s Office and mailed to you.

Step 3: State Authentication

Once diploma or official notarized transcripts are received, follow the steps outlined by the Nebraska Secretary of State to authenticate your documents. Once authenticated by the State, your diploma/transcript will be returned via mail.

Transcript Re-Evaluation

You may request a Transcript Re-Evaluation (student login required) if you changed to another program of study or wish specific courses to be reviewed again.

International Transcript Evaluation

International transcripts sent to MCC must first be evaluated and interpreted by any one of the current members of the National Association of Credential Evaluation Services. A course-by-course evaluation must be requested from these organizations, and the official report must be sent directly to the MCC Registrar's Office. International transcripts will also be reviewed under MCC transcript evaluation guidelines and policies.

Credit for Earned Undergraduate or Graduate Degrees

MCC credit is awarded for some general education courses to students who have an official transcript on file in the Registrar's Office, noting conferred bachelor’s, master’s, juris doctor, or doctoral degrees from a regionally, accredited American institution. Qualifying students will receive full credit for associate of applied science general education requirements.

Important: Some programs have specific requirements for general education courses. In such cases a transcript will be evaluated on a course-by-course basis. Consult your advisor to see which general education credits you may be eligible to receive.

  • Personal hardships or failure to review College policies generally do not qualify as valid reasons for approval.
  • Requests are evaluated on a case-by-case basis.
  • Requests cannot be made for issues that occurred more than one year ago.
  • Students must demonstrate that an unanticipated and unavoidable event, beyond their control, prevented them from completing courses or withdrawing before the deadline.
  • Requests for late withdrawal or a "W" grade will only be considered if the official course withdrawal period has passed. Courses cannot be removed from transcripts.
  • Decisions are based solely on the supporting documentation provided.
  • The final decision will be mailed to the student. It is the student’s responsibility to keep their contact information updated in the College system.
  • Requests are processed in the order received, and decisions are typically made within 4-6 weeks.
