Academic Transcript Requests

What is a transcript?

Your Cape Cod Community College (4Cs) transcript is a record of all the courses you have taken at 4Cs or transferred to 4Cs. The Education Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) prevents us from releasing your transcript to anyone without your written permission.

Official Transcripts vs. Unofficial Transcripts? Which should I order?

Official transcripts are those that are sent directly from 4Cs (through Parchment) to someone else, such as to another college or to an employer. If you want to transfer your 4Cs credits to another college, you would order an official transcript.

Unofficial transcripts are transcripts that are sent directly to you, the student. These can be used to check your grades, for some scholarship applications, or for meetings with an advisor.

Note that transcripts that are sent to you, even if you order them and pay for them through Parchment, are considered unofficial. So before you order a transcript, find out the email where the transcript should be sent. We don’t want you to spend your money on a transcript order that doesn’t count!

Request an Official Transcript:

Official transcript requests are done online and payment is easy with a credit or debit card. You will also have access to real-time, end-to-end tracking of your order. Are you waiting for your end-of-semester grades or your degree? Be sure to select the option for “Hold for Grades” and/or “Hold for Degree” and we’ll send them after your grades/degree is on your transcript.

Records prior to 1993 may require up to fifteen (15) business days to process.

Are you currently taking classes at 4Cs? If so, you can get your unofficial transcript on your My 4Cs portal. Go to CampusWeb > Students > My Unofficial Transcript.

If you’re not currently taking classes at 4Cs, complete an  Unofficial Transcript Request Form and send it to transcripts@fc5v5.com. Unofficial records can only be sent directly to you.
