Transcripts and Duplicate Degrees

Requesting Official Transcripts

Requests for official University of the District of Columbia (UDC) transcripts are processed through the National Student Clearinghouse (NSC), a trusted source for secure delivery of postsecondary and secondary student credentials. This service allows you to request, track, and verify the delivery of your official transcript 24/7 without calling or coming to campus.

Academic transcripts reflect ALL levels of coursework completed at UDC, including Workforce Development (WDLL), UDC Community College, certificate coursework, all other undergraduate coursework, graduate coursework, and UDC David A. Clarke School of Law (UDC-DCSL).
