Transcript Requests

Official College Transcripts

An official transcript is a record of your academic history that contains the Registrar's signature and school seal, and is delivered to the recipient directly from the school either electronically or in a sealed envelope with the school's logo. If you wish to obtain your official Hennepin Technical College transcript, you must provide your transcript release consent.

Hennepin Tech has authorized Parchment as our online transcript ordering service. You will provide your transcript release consent when you submit your order online through Parchment.

You will need a valid email address and a major credit card or debit card. The basic cost is $10 (non-refundable) for each official transcript, however your credit card will not be charged until after your transcript order has been fulfilled.

  • NOTE: Do not use the Parchment online order form to send your Hennepin Tech transcript to another college or university within the Minnesota State system. When you apply to another school within the Minnesota State system, they can obtain your official Hennepin Tech Transcript free of charge (if you attended Hennepin Tech after 1988). Check with the receiving Minnesota State system college or university if you have questions about their eTranscript retrieval process.
  • If you attended Hennepin Tech prior to 1988, an official transcript must be requested

(Students must order their official transcripts online, or they may obtain an unofficial transcript as described below.)

Unofficial College Transcripts

Students may retrieve their own unofficial transcript / academic record online through eServices, free of charge.

Former students who are unable to retrieve their own unofficial transcript by logging in to eServices may submit an "Enrollment Verification & Student Info Request" form to the Records Office.

If you require a transcript to be sent to a prospective employer or to a college or university outside of the Minnesota State system for transfer credit evaluation, it is recommended that you order an official transcript online.

NOTE: If you attended Hennepin Tech prior to 1988, an official transcript must be requested.

  • Transcripts delivered by electronic PDF will no longer be able to be opened 30 days after the order has been fulfilled.
  • You may choose to send an electronic PDF transcript to yourself, if desired. Note that ordering and downloading an electronic transcript to yourself makes the transcript unofficial.
  • If you attended HTC prior to 1988, an official transcript must be requested.

What if I have a hold on my student account?

Transcript orders may not be processed if there is an unresolved hold on your record. Students can check for holds by logging into eServices.

If the hold is not resolved within 30 days, your transcript order may be canceled.
