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.

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

• Diploma: Bring original diploma to the MCC Registrar’s Office, Fort Omaha Campus, Building 5 to make a certified copy. Or submit the Diploma Re-issue Request form.
• Transcripts: Place transcript orders through the National Student Clearinghouse. Please order the paper copy to be mailed to: MCC Registrar’s Office, P.O. Box 3777, Omaha, NE 68103.

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.

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 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.

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.

To reissue a diploma or certificate with a different name, students must submit request forms together with the required documentation to the MCC Registrar's Office.

• Former Students:
  Contact the MCC Registrar’s Office or call 531-MCC-2353 to request a Name Change Form and for further assistance.

• Current Students:
  Step 1: Complete the Name Change Form (student login required) and attach appropriate documentation.
  Step 2: Complete and mail the Request to Reissue Diploma form for processing. Important: Replacement diplomas will be noted REISSUE with the reissue date.

This process is available to students experiencing unforeseen circumstances or life-altering events that prevent them from completing their courses. A Hardship Withdrawal is not intended for disputing grades, addressing instructor concerns, or requesting refunds or tuition waivers.

Required Documentation

A Hardship Withdrawal must include:

• A written statement from the student, which must include:
  • A detailed explanation of the reason for the request.
  • The student's full name, MCC ID number, and contact information.
  • The specific resolution being requested, including the quarter and/or courses affected.
  • Future enrollment plans, if applicable, including the intended quarter of return.
• Supporting documentation to validate the request. Acceptable documentation may include:
  • A letter from a medical professional detailing how a medical condition prevented course completion. This letter must be on official letterhead and include the writer’s title and contact information.
  • An obituary or funeral program.
  • A copy of an airline ticket, if travel was necessary due to an emergency.
  • Official letters or documents on office letterhead, including the writer’s title and contact information, clearly explaining why course completion was not possible.

All required information must be submitted with the request. If supporting documentation is not provided, a decision will be made based on the existing information.

• 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.
