| UPCOMING EVENTS & INFORMATION Requesting a Sierra College Transcript If you need a Sierra College transcript sent to the college or university you will be attending, you will need to request that from Sierra and there are two ways you can do it. Option 1: Go to sierracollege.edu and search the word transcripts. Click the top result ‘Official and Unofficial Transcripts'. Then click ‘How to Order Your Official Sierra College Transcript’. From there it gives you many options. The ‘order online through TranscriptsPlus’ does not require you to reset your password. But you need to put in a bunch of other info. It lets you order an official and send it to your school. Option 2: Order it through your mySierra account. As a result of the cyber attack, every student with a mySierra account will need to reset their mySierra password/passphrase. Please click here to reset it: https://passwordreset.sierracollege.edu If you have your old puhsd.us email as your personal email in your mySierra account, you will not be able to get the verification email to reset your password. To fix this and request a personal email address change, complete the Change of Information Form and email it with a copy of a photo id to the Sierra Technician associated with your last name. Do not use a yahoo email, though, as Sierra's systems do not work well with yahoo accounts. Once you have successfully logged into your mySierra account, go to Grades and Transcripts, then Order Official Transcript and follow the steps to place an order for your Sierra transcript to be sent to the college you will attend in the summer or fall. Sierra was a victim of a cybersecurity incident on May 19th. We recommend that you place your request with Sierra and then contact the admissions office of the college you will attending and let them know that your Sierra College transcript may be delayed due to the cyber attack. ------------------------------------------------ SIERRA COLLEGE INFORMATION On May 19th, Sierra College was the victim of a cybersecurity incident.
