Transcript Request : Tacoma Community College

What is a Transcript?

A transcript is an academic record of student grades and achievements at Tacoma Community College. All classes taken at TCC will appear on the transcript. An unofficial transcript is a copy of the student's academic record accessed by the student for reviewing or checking academic progress. An official transcript carries the Registrar's signature and college seal and must be delivered sealed or through secure channels from the sending school to the receiving school.
