The unofficial transcript is good for many purposes, including high school credit or employer needs. However, if you are applying to another college, the college will want an official transcript.

To send your official CCV transcript to an employer, another educational institution, or any other third party you can place your request electronically through Parchment, where you will need to create an account separate from your CCV portal account.
This secure website offers transcripts that can be electronically delivered to an in-network college or university, emailed to an individual (they receive a one-time download code within an email) or sent using various shipping methods, including overnight. The minimum processing fee is $6.50 per transcript. Other charges apply according to the chosen method of delivery.
Please be aware that all financial or library obligations with CCV as well as any of the VSC colleges must be met before we can release your transcript.

To print your unofficial CCV transcript:

• Log in to Portal
• Go to Self Service in the upper left
• Click on Academics (the cap) on the left side of the screen
• Click on Unofficial Transcript
• Select VUG CCV Undergraduate Transcript
• Print
