Transcripts Defined

A transcript is an official record of your academic activity. It reflects your courses and grades, along with semester and cumulative grade point averages, honors, degrees, and certificates.

An enrollment verification, typically requested by insurance agencies, simply indicates your dates of attendance at SCC. The information below explains our transcript services and how to access your grades.

There are two types of transcripts, official and unofficial.

• An official transcript bears the official seal of the college. If you are transferring to another college the transcript is mailed directly from SCC to the institution you specify on the Transcript and Enrollment Verification Form. If you are transferring to SCC from another college you will need to request an official transcript be sent to SCC from each college you attended.
  
• An unofficial transcript of your SCC grades may be printed from the SCC Connection at any time.

To Request a Transcript

You can request a transcript in person, in writing, or by faxing your request directly to the Registrar's Office. You may use the online Transcript & Enrollment Verification Form or submit a written request.

Please make sure that your written requests include:

• Your signature and date
• The name under which you were enrolled
• Student identification number (or Social Security number)
• The address to which the transcript is to be sent
• Payment for your transcripts
  
  

Phone or e-mail requests will NOT be honored due to laws outlined in the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA).

Transcript Costs

Transcripts are $3 each. SCC accepts the following payment methods: cash, check, or credit card (Visa, Mastercard, Discover). If using a credit card, include your card number, month and year of expiration, and the amount you authorize your card to be charged.

• All holds on your record must be cleared before transcripts will be released.
• There is no charge for enrollment verifications.
• Allow two working days for processing. Additional time may be required at the end of the semester.
• SCC does not release copies of transcripts from high schools or other institutions you have attended. You must contact the original institution to obtain these documents.

Sending Transcripts to SCC and Transcript Evaluation

When transferring to SCC from another institution you must complete the following steps.

• Have official transcripts from EACH institution that you attended sent to the Admissions Office.
  • Credits for courses with passing grades may be accepted at the registrar's discretion.
• To have the credits taken at other institutions evaluated, submit a Request for Transfer Evaluation Form to the Admissions Office and declare a degree.
  • Accepted transfer credits will be included in the cumulative hours of credit but will not be calculated in the grade point average.
  • You will receive a transfer evaluation report indicating how the courses were accepted. Please allow two weeks for an evaluation from the time the transcripts are received.
  • Transcripts sent to SCC will not be automatically reviewed unless the student has requested in writing that a review be made.

Getting Your Grades

Final grades (and midterms) are available on SCC Connection. Grades will be available for viewing approximately three to five days after the last day of classes for the term.

• An SCC Connection account allows you to view and print an unofficial transcript of your grades.
• For technical support, you may contact the SCC Help Desk.
• Report cards are no longer mailed.
