Trinity Lutheran College Official Transcripts
Pacific Lutheran University is the custodian of official transcripts for Trinity Lutheran College which closed in Spring 2016. Transcripts are the only records PLU maintains for TLC. While PLU provides official transcripts for TLC alumni, PLU is not able to provide any interpretation of TLC transcripts.
TLC transcripts are ordered through the National Student Clearinghouse secure site. Transcripts are sent via mail and are $15 each plus shipping and processing fees dependent on the chosen mailing method.
When placing an order for TLC transcripts make sure to select ‘Trinity Lutheran College’ from the school list. Do NOT select PLU.
Current Students Only: Unofficial Transcripts
Current PLU students can access their unofficial transcript via their Banner Self-Service account. Transcripts include student name and the Pacific Lutheran University logo. Using the link to the right, log in to Banner Self-Service, click Student Services, click Student Records, and click Student Transcripts. To print use Ctrl-P.
In order to maintain student record security, unofficial transcripts are not available for former students. Former students needing a transcript should order an electronic copy from the National Student Clearinghouse and have it emailed to their personal account. This provides the student with a PDF copy of their transcript that they can then distribute as they choose for unofficial purposes.
