DMACC Student Handbook: Academic Information

Transcript Requests

Des Moines Area Community College will send or issue a transcript when students, or former students, mail, fax or phone in requests to the Registration Office. Transcript request forms are available at each campus, but a letter requesting a transcript will be honored.

Transcript requests should include the student’s name, Social Security number or DMACC ID number, telephone number, dates of attendance and the address to which the transcript should be mailed.

Except during peak periods, transcripts are sent within two working days after the receipt of the request. During peak periods, transcript requests are processed in the order they are received. There is no fee for transcripts unless special services are requested. In order for the transcript to be official, it must be sent directly to the receiving institution. Any copy of a transcript that is issued to a student is considered to be unofficial. Transcripts will not be issued for students who have an unpaid financial obligation to DMACC. Students may view an unofficial copy of their academic record on the DMACC Web Info System.
