Official Transcripts

Official transcripts are maintained in Student Services. Many educational facilities and employers request official transcripts to verify education. Official transcripts are generally sent directly from Southwest Tech to the entity requesting your transcript.

Official transcript requests will only be held in our ordering system for 30 days. Be sure that you are prepared to have it processed and sent within the following 30 days of placing an order. Transcripts requests that are waiting for grades to be posted or degrees to be awarded should not be placed more than 15 days prior to the end of your course(s) or end of term. After 30 days, orders are cancelled automatically.

Unofficial Transcript

Unofficial transcripts are not typically accepted as an official record of your educational background. However, current students are encouraged to review their unofficial transcripts periodically to ensure that all courses, credits, and grades for work completed are properly recorded, as well as to know the progress being made toward completion of graduation requirements.

Steps for accessing your unofficial transcript:

1. Log into your MySWTC account.

  1. If it has been longer than 2 semesters since you've last accessed your student portal, skip to step 2 instructions below.
  2. Once logged into your portal, use the menu bar on the left-hand side, under "Academics", click on "Unofficial Transcript".
  3. Use the PDF link to download your transcript.
