Documenting Your College Experience
Transcripts and Enrollment Verification
At some point you’ll need to confirm your college experience — either for a potential employer, scholarship, financial aid, or even to transfer to another university or college. When this happens you can request a copy of your transcript that details the courses you’ve taken and the grades you received or verification that you are enrolled at RCC. You can always check the status of your courses, dates and fees by logging into your student portal.
