Transcripts

You can get either an official or unofficial transcript for free. You may want an unofficial transcript for your personal records, while other schools or employers may require an official transcript.

See the GED Web site to request your GED transcript.

How much does it cost?

You can get your transcript, official or unofficial, for free! However, we cannot provide a transcript unless all your financial obligations to the college have been met. This includes library and parking fines!

Unofficial transcripts

If you attended Pierce College anytime from 1986 can use the Student Online Services to view and print an unofficial transcript. Student Online Services are also available from student kiosks located at Pierce College Fort Steilacoom, Pierce College Puyallup, or our Fort Lewis or McChord AFB sites.

This service requires a Pierce College student ID and PIN. See the SOS home page for more information.

If you attended Pierce College (or Fort Steilacoom Community College) before 1986, or you are unable to use the Student Online Services, you should use the same procedure for official transcripts.

Official transcripts

You must request your official transcript in writing, including a signature.

Download and fill out a Transcript Request Form (PDF), or create your own form by writing out the following information:

• Full name at the time you attended
• Current name (if different)
• Student identification number and/or social security number
• Date of birth
• Daytime telephone number
• Approximate dates you attended
• Type of transcript (official or unofficial)
• Complete name and address where the transcript should be mailed
• Your signature is required.

Where do I send my request?

You may bring your form to the Records Office at either college or send it by mail or fax. Please allow two weeks for mailing and processing. There are no fees for these services, however, transcripts are released only if all financial obligations to Pierce College have been met.
