CGCC Transcripts

A transcript is a copy of a student's permanent academic record at Columbia Gorge Community College (CGCC) including all courses taken, all grades received, and all degrees and certificates conferred. To be considered official, most colleges, universities, and employers require transcripts to be submitted in the original sealed envelope or via an electronic transfer system compatible with both schools.

CGCC has arranged the services of Parchment to fulfill transcript requests. You may order the transcript to be sent either electronically or in paper format. Please check with your recipient for the format they will accept. Click on the link below to order your official transcript.

Official Transcript Processing

  • Both electronic and paper transcripts have a fee associated with them. You will need either a credit or debit card to place the order. 
  • Requests are processed in the order received.
  • It usually takes about 1-3 business days (Monday- Friday) after the transcript order has been placed for the request to be processed. 
  • Please allow additional time during peak periods, such as the start of registration, final grade posting and degree posting. 

To see how credits may transfer to other schools, please see CGCC's information on transferring to a 4-year college or university.

**NOTICE Prior to Fall 2013: Please be aware that as of Fall 2013, CGCC obtained independent accreditation and is no longer connected to Portland Community College (PCC). Classes taken prior to Fall 2013 will be recorded at PCC, and official/unofficial transcripts for that time period will need to be ordered from PCC. Classes taken at CGCC through PCC during that time period will NOT appear on CGCC transcripts.

Foreign Transcripts

To receive transfer credit for courses taken in a foreign country, you need to have the transcripts and any available course descriptions translated into English and evaluated.

Most transfer credits accepted from foreign institutions will be used as electives. If course descriptions are supplied and content is clear, the credit may be used to meet other requirements. All decisions made by the Student Records office are final.

  • Have your transcript(s) and course descriptions translated into English. A fee (approx. $65+) is required for this service. (See list of local translation services below.)
  • Have your translated transcript(s) and course descriptions evaluated, following the appropriate instructions below.
