What is an official transcript?

  • Electronic transcripts are only considered official when sent directly from the institution. Emailed transcripts from students are considered unofficial.

Transfer credits are not awarded for unofficial transcripts. Official transcripts submitted become the property of CCBC. CCBC will not reissue the transcript to another institution or return it to the student. Transcripts must be received within one year of the issue date.
