Student Records

Student Records

The Registrar's Office maintains student records on all actively enrolled students.

These records consist of, but are not limited to the following documents:

• Admissions and/or Readmit Applications
• High School Transcripts (if applicable), College Transcripts (if applicable), Placement Test Scores;
• Change of Curriculum Forms, Change of Name and Address Forms, Change of Grade Forms;
• Transfer Credit Evaluations for Academic Advanced Standing (if applicable); and
• General Admissions and Registrar Services Correspondence.

The responsibility for the protection of the privacy of student educational records rests primarily with the records office. Northeastern Technical College complies with the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) of 1974 and coordinates the disposition of student records with the South Carolina Department of Archives and History.

Information retained in the student's permanent academic record housed in the vault located in the Registrar's Office may include the following:

• Academic transcripts from high school or GED certificate
• Placement test scores
• Acceptance letter
• Change of curriculum form
• Placement test scores
• Change of grade forms

NETC must maintain a master academic record (transcript) for all former and current students for 75 years as noted in the Records Retention Schedule regarding this procedure.

The Registrar's Office personnel are the only staff members authorized to access student records in the vault. Once a file has entered the vault from the Admissions acceptance files, it becomes a permanent student record. A file is only removed from the vault when appropriate written requests are filed with the records office or for the purpose of re-admitting a student to the college.

Request a Transcript

Northeastern Technical College has authorized the National Student Clearinghouse to provide online transcript ordering services for Northeastern Technical College students and alumni. Transcripts may be ordered online 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. The College does not charge a fee to send a transcript. However, the National Student Clearinghouse will charge a small fee for processing.

TO REQUEST AN OFFICIAL TRANSCRIPT, please go to the National Student Clearinghouse https://tsorder.studentclearinghouse.org/school/ficecode/00760200 and follow the prompts.

You do not need to know your student ID number to order transcripts. Order updates are available via mobile text message and will also be emailed to you. You may also track your order online using your email address and order number.

Northeastern Technical College does not issue or reproduce transcripts from other institutions. Requests for transcripts of courses taken at other institutions must be directed to the issuing institution.

Transcripts will not be issued to third parties unless requested by the student.

Grade Policy

Repeating Courses: When a student repeats a course, all grades will be entered on the student's permanent academic record. However, the higher of the grades will be included in the Grade Point Average. All coursework attempted will be calculated in the assessment of academic progress for student financial aid purposes. Upon the third unsuccessful attempt of a sequence course, the student must repeat and pass any prerequisite course with a "C" or better.

Grade Reports: Grade reports will be available through Self Service at the end of each semester. Verification request should be made at the Registrar's Office.

Academic Honors

To achieve the President's List or Dean's List for a semester, a student must have completed at least 9 credit hours, excluding developmental work, with a 4.0 G.P.A. for the President's List and a 3.5 G.P.A. for the Dean's List.  Any "I" or "F" grades mean automatic ineligibility. For graduation purposes, all students who have a 3.5 program G.P.A. or higher on credits earned through the spring term, prior to graduation ceremonies, will be acknowledged as honor graduates.

Academic Probation/Suspension

Academic Warning: A student pursuing an associate degree, diploma or certificate program is considered to be in serious academic difficulty if his or her cumulative grade point ratio falls below 2.0, or he/she fails 50 percent of all hours attempted in developmental studies courses.

Academic Probation: Any student who fails to earn a 2.0 G.P.A. or fails 50 percent of developmental courses during an academic warning term will be subject to a term of academic probation.

Academic Suspension: Students on academic probation who fail to earn a 2.0 G.P.A. or fail 50 percent of developmental courses will be subject to academic suspension from the college. Students will be re-admitted after one term of suspension and must maintain a 2.0 G.P.A. on all work attempted or pass more than 50 percent of the developmental courses attempted. Re-admission after a second term of academic suspension should include participation in counseling in the Office of Student Services to determine if the student should consider a curriculum change.

Non-academic Suspension: A student suspended from the college for non-academic reasons will be notified in writing of the length of suspension. For violations of conduct, the instructor may temporarily dismiss the student from class and refer the matter to the Dean of Students or Vice President for Student Affairs. Non-academic suspensions will be initiated only by the Dean of Students. The length of the probation and/or suspension will depend on the nature of the violation.

Re-admission After Suspension: To be re-admitted after suspension, the student must submit a written request directly to the Dean of Students.

Appeal of Academic Suspension: If you wish to appeal this academic suspension, you must submit a written statement outlining exactly why you feel an exception to this rule should be made in your case. This written statement must be submitted to the records office no later than the first day of classes of the next semester.  Upon review of the Suspension Committee, notification will be done before the end of the Add Period. The decision by the committee to continue enrollment will not restore financial aid or veterans benefits lost for lack of satisfactory progress.

Graduation

The college sponsors graduation ceremonies at the end of each semester. Participation in the formal graduation is an option the student may choose, and fees will be assessed on the cost of caps and gowns and other materials necessary. Information regarding caps, gowns, invitations, and graduation exercises will be emailed to eligible students by midterm of each semester.

The Registrar will provide eligible students with graduation application and specific requirements via email. Once final grades are posted and end of term processes have been completed certificates, degrees and diplomas are conferred. There is no charge for completing the application.

Graduation Requirements: Requirements for course work for graduation vary with the student's program.  The student is responsible for fulfilling the requirements set forth in the catalog or announced by advisor.

1. The student must achieve a G.P.A. of 2.0 in all work applicable to the program.
2. The student must complete the course work and the required number of credits.
3. The student must pay all required fees and satisfy all financial obligations to the College.
4. Earn at least 25 percent of the total credit hours of his/her curriculum at Northeastern Technical College.
5. The student must complete the graduation packet and return it to the Office of Student Services. A late fee is charged for students who apply after the announced deadline  Certificates must be applied for; no fee is charged.

Withdrawals

A student wishing to withdraw from the college or a course should first contact the faculty advisor to review the situation and/or to inform the advisor. The student should complete a Drop Form with student's signature and returned to the Registrar's Office, records@netc.edu. Following this procedure will protect the student's privileges of re-admission, the assignment of representative grades, and the transfer of credits. Any student who discontinues his or her work without formal withdrawal does so at the risk of having registration privileges withdrawn. It is also the student's responsibility to follow this procedure in order to be eligible for designated refunds and financial aid.

Note: Pell grants require 60 percent attendance of the semester.

Withdrawal Period: The withdrawal period shall be that period during which a student, with the permission of the faculty advisor, may withdraw from courses without academic penalty.

A student withdrawing from a course up to midterm will be assigned a "W". A grade of "W" will be assigned after midterm only if the student has instructor-documented satisfactory progress.  A grade of "W" may be assigned for a student withdrawal after midterm when the student is not passing the course. A grade of "W" may be assigned for excessive absences without withdrawal.

Students should note on the semester calendar the last date to withdraw. After this date, students may not withdraw from class.

1. Withdrawal or Net Reduction of Credit Hours:

2.  Refunds for terms that vary in length from the semester term will be in proportion to the semester term refund schedule in item 1.
