Transcripts
Request Your Official Fullerton College Records
The Admissions & Records Office prepares and permanently retains a record of each student’s academic work. Currently, only coursework taken at Fullerton College will be shown on the transcript. Transfer credits are included only if other college coursework has been used to fulfill graduation requirements.
The first two transcripts (lifetime) a student requests are FREE.
In accordance with the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 (FERPA), records may not be released to a third party without the prior written authorization of the student. A valid picture ID of the student or authorized person is required for ALL transactions made in person.
Please Note: Be advised that there may be a delay in processing transcript requests with records prior to the Fall of 1989.
