Order Official Transcripts From the Los Rios Colleges

Beginning in July, 2026, official transcripts include all coursework completed at Los Rios colleges. Whether you attended American River College, Cosumnes River College, Folsom Lake College, Sacramento City College, or any combination of our colleges, you only need to submit one transcript request to receive your entire Los Rios academic record.

What's New

• One transcript for all Los Rios colleges: Your official transcript now includes coursework completed at all Los Rios colleges in a single document. Coursework remains organized by college and term, making it easy for employers, universities, and other institutions to review your academic history.
• One ordering site: You no longer need to order separate transcripts from different colleges. A single order includes your complete Los Rios record.
• Two free official transcripts: Every student is entitled to two free official transcripts. As part of this transition, transcript counts have been reset. Even if you previously used your free transcripts, you will receive two new free districtwide transcript orders. Additional transcripts cost $5 each.

Requestor Responsibilities

Students and alumni requesting transcripts assume responsibility for the following:

• Providing the correct mailing address and/or email address.
• Ensuring the recipient accepts your chosen method of delivery.
• Ordering with enough time to meet the recipient's deadline.
• Following up with the recipient to ensure the order's arrival.

Special Transcript Requests

• Older records (microfilm): Students seeking older records maintained on microfilm may request them through the same ordering system.
• San Francisco College of Mortuary Science records: Transcript requests for San Francisco College of Mortuary Science records are also available through the same ordering system.

Third-Party Authorization

Student records are protected by the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA). If a third party is picking up your transcripts, they must provide an authorization signed by you. Online requests that are automatically verified through eServices (or another automated authentication) are the exception to this rule.

Lost Transcripts

We are not responsible if your transcript is lost by the US Postal Service, FedEx, or the school or agency to which it was sent. We are also not responsible if you provide the wrong mailing address and your transcript is lost as a result. You will have to pay the normal fees for new transcript orders.

Unofficial Transcripts

The process for obtaining unofficial transcripts has not changed. Students and employees may continue to access unofficial transcripts through existing systems.
