Transferring My Earned Credits
Unofficial Transcript through CUNYfirst
College Now students can view their grades and earned credits by obtaining their Lehman College unofficial transcript. We recommend that students obtain a copy of their unofficial transcript if they will be attending a CUNY college. Students should inform their academic advisor that they participated in the College Now program and provide their unofficial transcript to the academic advisor. Students can also use their unofficial transcipt as proof of dual-enrollment courses when applying to educational institutions outside of the CUNY system. Students can download their unofficial transcript free of cost through CUNYfirst. There is no limit on downloading and printing your unofficial transcript. Students must have activated their CUNYfirst account to download your transcript.
- To activate your CUNYfirst account review the CUNYLogin_ActivateMyAccount (PDF) handout.
- Please review the Unofficial Transcript from CUNYfirst (PDF) handout for visual instructions on downloading your unofficial transcript from CUNYfirst.
Official Transcript
College Now students who will be attending a college or educational institution outside of the CUNY system, for example a SUNY college or a private college, must request their official transcript in order to transfer their credits. This process does not happen automatically and unofficial transcripts are usually not accepted to transfer credits. The official transcript can be mailed or emailed directly to the institution, or mailed to the student. If students receive the official transcript and plan to submit it to the institution, it cannot be opened; otherwise it is no longer official. Students should wait until the end of the semester to request official transcripts so that all courses and grades show in the transcript.
