Student Records

Students that have completed classes at another accredited College or University, and wish to submit those transcripts for prerequisite clearance or for meeting degree/certificate requirements, may send Official transcripts to:

Or if the sending institution sends official transcripts electronically via PDF, electronic transcripts can be emailed to occtranscripts@occ.cccd.edu. The transcripts must be sent directly from the sending institutions authorized agent. OCC will not accept forwarded transcripts from the student.

Or you may submit official transcripts in person to the Enrollment Services window, located on the first floor of Watson Hall. All other departments requesting official transcripts to be on file will have access to view your official transcripts once you have submitted the transcripts to Enrollment Services. Currently, official transcripts take about 6 weeks to be evaluated (12 weeks for out-of-state and 4-year institutions).

NOTE: Orange Coast College does not automatically clear Pre/Co requisites. For prerequisite clearance please visit the Prerequisites and Co-requisites page.

• Courses completed at a Calif​ornia Community College, California State University or University of California are evaluated and course credit awarded in accordance with course articulation using Assist.org or TES.
• Courses completed at an accredited private college/university in California or any accredited college/university outside of California but within the United States, are evaluated based on course descriptions and course syllabus information for each course. The student is responsible for providing the information when submitting transcripts from the school.
• Courses completed at a college or university outside the United States, need to be evaluated by an approved transcript evaluation service. Information on approved transcript evaluation services is available from Orange Coast College’s Counseling Office. A maximum of 15 units will be awarded from the foreign evaluation toward our option 1 AA, AS or Certificates of Achievement. These units will not be used for completing GE Certifications for Transfer.

Whether you are a current student needing transcripts for transfer or getting back into school, you can order transcripts online through Parchment. Students on campus will have access to computers for online ordering in Watson Hall, the Computing Center and the Library.  Orange Coast College does not offer same day transcript service. Visit Transcript Information.

You may obtain semester grades using the following options:

Option #1 MyCoast - View/print your unofficial transcript​

Grades for the most recent semester are available via the MyCoast portal approximately 2-3 weeks after the end of the semester (allow 3-4 weeks after the end of the fall semester.) Grades are available online via MyCoast.

Option # 2 Order a Transcript

If you need official transcripts, which include all coursework you’ve taken at Orange Coast College, make sure you mark “after final grades are posted” to ensure that your most recent semester grades will appear on your transcript. These requests take approximately 4-6 weeks after the end of the semester and are sent in the order the requests are received. Make sure you submit your request before the end of the term (we begin to accept these requests about one month before the end of the term.) Due to the volume of requests and uncertainty of when grades will be available, we do not offer the Special Handling Rush service on these requests.  Learn more about ordering a transcript.

NOTE: If you need your grades before the official transcripts are available, you can complete an Early Grade Report (PDF) and ask your instructor to sign it. This will act as a temporary grade report until official grades are available.

If you are seeking a verification of enrollment, you may utilize our free-of-charge verification of enrollment available to current students via MyCoast. If you are a former student you may mail in a verification of enrollment or turn it in in person. Visit Verification of Enrollment for more information.​

Students may change the grade option for a course from a Standard Letter grade to a Pass/No Pass grade. This may be done on the ADD/DROP page on MyCoast.  Students unable to change the option on MyCoast, may submit a Pass/No Pass Grade Request Form in person or by mail.

Important Note: Some institutions will not accept a Pass (P) grade for courses required in a major or towards general education requirements. Students are strongly advised to consult with a counselor before signing and submitting the request for P/NP grading. If you do a section change you must submit a new P/NP form as this P/NP request does not transfer to the new section.

Form Submission: Submit this form to the Enrollment Center, first floor Watson Hall on or before the deadline date. Forms submitted by mail, must be postmarked by the U.S. Post Office on or before the deadline date. Other postmarks will not be accepted.

Mail the form to:

SUBMISSION DEADLINES:

If you took a course at OCC and received a substandard grade, then repeated the course, the sub-standard grade will be automatically excluded from your GPA calculation.

If you repeated the course at a college/university outside the Coast District, you will need to submit a Petition to Exclude a Sub-standard Grade along with official transcripts from the school. Visit the Sub-Standard Grades page for more information.

If you are in your last semester and getting ready to transfer or get that degree/certificate don’t forget to apply for graduation! Applications are available online or in the Enrollment Center. If you are interested in getting GE certified make sure you meet with your counselor to see which certification, IGETC or CSU GE Breadth, you qualify for. Visit the Graduation page for more information.

Commencement happens once a year in the Spring term. Visit the Commencement page for more information.
