ACC Transfer Transcript Process?

I'm transferring from Austin Community College and need to know how to handle the transcript process. Any advice would be appreciated!

Starting the transcript process can seem daunting, but it is a structured procedure and you can get assistance if required. At Austin Community College (ACC), you need to request a transcript for it to be sent to the university you are transferring to.

Here are the steps to follow:

1. Login to your ACC Online Services. This is typically where you view your grades, schedule, etc.

2. Go to the "Transcript Request" section.

3. Follow the step-by-step instructions to request your transcript.

4. Depending on the system, you may need to select the colleges or universities you want your transcript sent to. Many colleges allow electronic delivery, which can expedite the process.

5. Some colleges require a small payment for transcript requests. Be prepared to provide any necessary payment information.

It's important to start this process well in advance of any application deadlines to ensure the transcript arrives on time. Transcripts often take a few weeks to process, and there can be shipping time involved if the receiving institution doesn't accept electronic delivery.

It's also crucial to verify the receiving institution actually got your transcripts. After a reasonable period of time, you should contact the admissions office at your new college to confirm they've received it.

Remember that your transcript needs to include all your final grades, so don't request it from ACC until after your grades have been posted for your final semester there.

And remember, always feel free to reach out to ACC's records office if you encounter any problems or have any additional concerns. They should be able to provide assistance and guide you through resolving any issues.
