Transcript Fees and Policies

• Each student is entitled to receive two transcripts or two verifications at no cost. After the initial two transcripts or verifications have been requested, each additional request is $3.00. Transcript requests will be processed within five working days; however, during peak periods there may be some delay.
  
• Emergency processing fee is $5.00 each in addition to the $3.00 transcript fee. Transcript requests will be processed on an emergency basis within 24 hours; however, during peak periods 48 hours may be required.
  
• Saddleback College does not fax transcripts.

• Transcripts may be ordered online at www.degreechk.com. This is the quickest way to receive a transcript; however, the online request system cannot accommodate the two free transcripts.
• Official final grades for all classes are available on transcripts approximately 2-3 weeks following the end of the semester. This processing time also applies to those classes that ended midway or prior to the end of the semester.  Students requiring an official grade verification for a class prior to the grades appearing on transcripts may request an Early Grade Verification.  Forms are available in the Admissions Office. 

• Only coursework taken at Saddleback College will be included on the transcript.  Copies of transcripts from other colleges, including Irvine Valley College, must be requested from the respective institutions.

• No transcripts will be sent until all financial obligations have been met, including fines and fees. 

• Transcripts ordered for pickup at Saddleback College will be held for only 30 days.  After that time, students are required to submit a new request with payment.

• Saddleback College is not responsible for lost or misdirected mail.

• In accordance with the Family Education Rights and Privacy Act of 1974, the college will not release records to a third party. Only students themselves may personally order or pick up a transcript.
