Records
The Admissions and Records Office maintains permanent academic records which include Palo Verde College transcripts and may include transcripts from other colleges and Palo Verde College placement exam results. Information from Admissions Applications and schedules of classes are also stored.

Directory Information may be released at the discretion of the college unless a student has notified the college in writing that such information shall not be released (see Student Rights to Privacy | FERPA | Request to Prevent Disclosure of Directory Information for further information regarding Directory Information).

The Admissions and Records Office prepares and permanently retains records of student's academic work at PVC for regular sessions as well as for summer sessions. The student academic record chronologically lists courses, units, grades, cumulative grade point average, transfer credits and total units.

Transcripts
The transcript of a student's Palo Verde College academic record is released only upon receipt of a signed request by the student authorizing the release. These requests may be made in person at the Registrar's Office. Telephone requests cannot be honored.

For regular service there is a fee of $5.00 for each official transcript. Requests should be made one week in advance of the time the transcript is needed.

For rush service there is a $10.00 fee (in addition to the regular service fee of $5.00 for each official transcript). The transcript is available the next working day after receipt of the request. Additional fees will be charged for express overnight processing.

Payment is due in advance for all transcript service. A check or money order payable to Palo Verde College should be submitted with the Transcript Request. All outstanding debts to the College must be paid in full before a transcript will be released.

Students are strongly advised to check their academic records carefully and to bring any discrepancies to the attention of the Admissions and Records Office immediately.
