Transcripts & Transferring to College
Checking Your Grade
After your class has finished, you can log into ctcLink to review your grade. You’ll need your 9-digit ID number that you used to sign up for the class and your password. Check with your high school teacher if you don’t remember your ID number – they can find it on their North Seattle College class roster. The password can be reset from the ctcLink login page. If you need an unofficial or official transcript to send to a college or university, scroll down.

Transcripts
For transfer to institutions outside of Seattle Colleges, you will need a college transcript. The easiest way to order these is online. For Official Transcripts, order them at the first link below. Official Transcripts are sent directly to institutions you are planning on applying to or have applied to. If you just need an Unofficial Transcript, you can print these yourself at the second link below. For both Official and Unofficial Transcripts you will need your ctcLink ID number. If you don’t remember it (or your password), your teacher can help you retrieve it.

Transfer
Courses in the College in the High School program are General Education Requirements (including electives) within the Seattle Colleges Associate of Arts (Transfer) Degree. Colleges and universities often require 90 credits of courses to fulfill general education requirements before the student begins studying a major in earnest. The courses you complete can be applied toward a degree or certificate at North Seattle College or other institutions. Depending upon the college or university, your courses may transfer as direct equivalents or as general electives. It is strongly recommended you contact the college/university you plan to attend and verify how these credits will be accepted.
Earning an AA degree at North has advantages over entering a university directly:
- Lower cost, quality instruction
- Small class sizes, student/teacher interaction
- Direct transfer agreement with Washington colleges and universities.
Seattle Promise
The Seattle Promise program is a joint project between the Seattle Colleges, Seattle Public Schools, and the City of Seattle. They work with you to create a financial aid package to pay for your college work. You have Seattle Promise advisors on your high school campus that can help answer your questions and guide you through the transfer process.
You can find your high school’s Seattle Promise advisor at this link:

Direct Transfer Agreement
Each of the public, four-year colleges and universities within Washington have agreed to accept transfer credits from this program. NSC can’t guarantee whether the class(es) will meet graduation requirements or be accepted by a specific academic department within a college or a university. If you are planning on transferring to a private college, you should speak to their admissions office for clarification. Although it is uncommon for credits not to be transferred, there have been some exceptions.

Your High School Counselors
If transferring to an institution other than one of the Seattle Colleges, your high school counselors are a valuable resource. They can help you determine how to start your transfer process. One of the things you’ll need is an official or unofficial transcript. See above for information on how to print (unofficial) or order (official) transcripts.
