John Tyler Community College offers students and alumni two options for receiving transcripts from the College.  Unofficial transcripts do not bear the College’s official seal and are not sealed when presented to the student.  They are often used for students’ personal records.  Official transcripts bear the College’s seal and are mailed from the College or given to the student in a sealed envelope. Official transcripts are often required when you are transferring to another college or university. 

Students must submit requests for both unofficial and official transcripts in writing.  The College does not accept faxed requests for transcripts and does not fax transcripts to other individuals or institutions, due to FERPA security issues. 

All transcript requests processed by the Admissions and Records Office require a $3.00 processing fee, which must be paid before the transcript will be released to the student.  If you are mailing your transcript request, you will need to pay the processing fee by money order or a check made payable to John Tyler Community College.  The check or money order will need to be for exactly $3.00. Do not send cash.  If you are making your request in person, you may pay the processing fee with cash, money order, a check made payable to John Tyler Community College, Mastercard or Visa. 

Unofficial Transcript Requests
If you enrolled in John Tyler Community College within the last three years and do not have a financial obligation to the College, you may print an unofficial transcript using the Student Information System in myTyler.
