High School Transcripts



Some North Carolina public high schools have the capability to electronically send official high school transcripts when you apply online. We encourage you to visit your school counselor to verify coursework and grades prior to requesting an electronic transcript.

To send an electronic transcript, you must:

  • Complete this online application.
  • Make sure you have entered the following information in your profile and/or application:
    • First and last name
    • Date of birth
    • NCWise ID (Your NCWise ID is your public high school student identifier number. Providing the NCWise ID is voluntary and if provided will give you the opportunity to request your high school transcript electronically)
    • Gender
    • Current high school
    • E-mail address
  • Be currently enrolled at a participating public high school in North Carolina (one that has converted from the SIMS system to NCWISE to manage student data). If you are not sure about your school, check with your school counselor or office staff.
If these conditions were met when you submitted your application, you will then be presented with the option of sending your high school transcript electronically to that school.
