Additional Services for Graduating Students

Transcripts
Unofficial Transcripts (student copy) are available online when you log into your Student Account. When you print it from your account, it is an "unofficial" transcript.

Official transcripts ($5.00 fee) can be ordered through the College Web site via the Student Clearinghouse, and mailed directly to a third party (employer or transfer college) or you may pick it up from Student Records. The transcript, if picked up, is considered official if it is given to you in a sealed envelope and remains sealed until you deliver it to an employer or transfer college.
