Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between an official and an unofficial transcript?

An official and unofficial transcript contain similar information.  However, an official transcript is either sent electronically directly to the receiving institution, or mailed with an official seal.  If the seal has been broken before arriving at the receiving institution, it is considered an unofficial transcript.  The College of Charleston requires official transcripts of all transfer credit being applied towards degree requirements.

Where should I send my official transcript?

If you are a new or prospective student, you should send your transcript to the Office of Admissions.  If you are a currently enrolled student at the College, you should send your transcript to the Office of the Registrar..  

How do I know if my credits transferred?

New students accepted to the College of Charleston may use Degree Works via the MyPortal to view a list of awarded and pending transfer credit.  For more information and a list of common evaluation abbreviations you will see on Degree Works, visit the Credit Evaluations page.
