Transcripts
Official Transcript
An official transcript is a copy of your permanent academic record. It is signed by the registrar and has the college seal placed over the signature. Your transcript will be released only on your written request, accompanied by your signature.
You can also request a transcript electronically via Parchment. This allows you to send a paper copy of your transcript or an electronic copy via secure email. The electronic copy of your transcript is considered official and is encrypted for security. Each transcript is $10, followed with an additional $2.50 service fee. Other delivery options are available online as well. If you have any questions about this transcript service, call us at (509) 682-6806 or email us at transcripts@cossetto.net. Once you go to the Parchment website, you will create an account with Parchment, and you will be able to see when we send your transcript, and when the recipient views the transcript.

Transcript Credit Evaluations
In order for incoming transfer credits from other colleges and universities to be applied to a degree or certificate at WVC, students must submit a Credit Evaluation Request form. Forms, instructions, and additional information can be found at ntw3.cossetto.net/TranscriptEvaluation.
If you are a current WVC student and/or you have transfer-in credit that has already been evaluated by WVC, you can login to your ctcLink account to use the Degree Progress tool to see how your credits have been applied toward your degree requirements and to see how close you are to finishing your degree and what credits you have left to take. For detailed instructions, visit ntw3.cossetto.net/DegreeProgress.
Transfer Credits
A maximum of 60 credits from regionally accredited colleges and universities may be applied toward a WVC degree, meeting either requirements or electives, at the discretion of the credential evaluator, dean, or program adviser. The following is a list of those organizations that grant regional accreditation in the United States:
- Middle States Association of Colleges & Schools Middle States Commission on Higher Education
- New England Association of Schools & Colleges Commission on Institutions of Higher Education
- New England Association of Schools & Colleges Commission on Technical & Career Institutions
- North Central Association of Colleges & Schools The Higher Learning Commission
- Northwest Commission on Colleges & Universities
- Southern Association of Colleges & Schools Commission on Colleges
- Western Association of Schools & Colleges Accrediting Commission for Community Colleges
- Western Association of Schools & Colleges Accrediting Commission for Senior Universities
Up to 15 credits of restricted elective may be accepted from schools whose curriculum has been evaluated by the American Council on Education (ACE).
Transfer credit is not awarded for the following types of coursework: (1) courses taken at colleges that are not regionally accredited, (2) non-credit courses and workshops, (3) remedial or college preparatory courses (i.e. - student orientation classes), (4) sectarian religious studies.
Transfer courses with less than a D grade (or 1.0) can not be used to satisfy a graduation requirement.
Upper division courses (usually numbered 300-400) will only be applied toward a degree distribution area if a similar course exists at Wenatchee Valley College. The credit evaluator may allow some other upper division courses to be used as restricted electives, depending on the nature of the course work.
Credits from semester schools are multiplied by 1.5 to convert them to quarter credits. For example, 2 semester credits = 3 quarter credits, and 3 semester credits = 4.5 quarter credits.
Nontraditional Credit
Wenatchee Valley College encourages flexibility, innovation and independent study in the educational process. Nontraditional credit programs allow you to earn credit outside of the classroom setting. The following are types of nontraditional credit accepted at WVC:
- College Level Examination Program (CLEP)
- College Board Advanced Placement (AP)
- Cooperative Work Experience (CWE)
- Course Challenge
- Credit for Military Experience
