If you completed dual enrollment courses during high school, either with BTC or through your sending school, you will need to send an official college transcript from the college or university where you earned credit to the college you plan to attend after graduation. Transferring credits normally costs you some amount of money so you want to assure you do it at the right time and avoid mistakes that will require additional requests and payments.
Why This Matters
Dual Enrollment credits must be transferred via official means directly from one college to another. While some sending schools may record your dual enrollment credits on your high school transcript, colleges will generally not accept high school transcripts as sufficient documentation for accepting those credits. Sending your transcript(s) helps you:
- Verify completed coursework and transfer the credit into your new school/program
- Register for advanced courses
- Avoid repeating (and paying for) classes
Before You Begin, Make Sure You Have:
- Your student ID number
- The full name of the college where you took dual enrollment classes
- Your approximate dates of attendance
- The name and address of the college you plan to attend – this is important since some names are similar; for example, St. John’s University is very different from St. John’s College.
- A personal email address you can access after high school graduation
- A debit/credit card if transcript fees apply
Important Tips
Review Your Unofficial Transcript First: You want to know what will be transmitted before you spend money to send it. You should be able to view your unofficial transcript through your college portal. If there are errors or classes are not correctly listed, make sure you address that ASAP.
Request Transcripts Early: This helps avoid potential delays in financial aid, orientation, class placement and scheduling, or credit evaluation.
Use a Personal Email Address: Your high school email account may be disabled after graduation.
Keep Copies of Confirmations: Save screenshots, receipts, and confirmation emails until the process is complete.
Check Transfer Policies: Know that not all dual enrollment credits automatically transfer, or they may not transfer for the exact credits you need for your program of study. Reviewing your college’s policies ahead of time can help you avoid unfortunate surprises.
Need Help?: Ask your BTC teacher, Mr. Yepez (BTC School Counselor), your high school counselor, or your high school flexible pathways coordinator.
Step 1: Identify the College That Issued Your Dual Enrollment Credit and Go to Their Registrar or Transcript Website
Go to the website of the college that awarded your credit. Most schools use an online service to send transcripts electronically like Parchment, National Student Clearinghouse, or Credentials Solutions. BTC students generally take Dual Enrollment/Fast Forward classes with the following schools:
- Community College of Vermont
- Go to https://ccv.edu/academics/transfer-from-ccv/ and follow directions under “Transcript Request”
- Vermont State University
- Go to https://vermontstate.edu/alumni/alumni-resources/ and select button for “Order Transcript”
- River Valley Community College
- Go to https://www.rivervalley.edu/registrars-office/transcript-request/ and click on button “Click Here to Request a Transcript”
- White Mountains Community College
- Go to https://www.wmcc.edu/current-students/transcript-requests/ and click on link for “Electronic Transcript Request Form”
You may also have taken dual enrollment courses through your high school with University of Vermont, Champlain College, Saint Michael’s College or others. Search on their websites for relevant procedures.
Step 2: Request Your Official Transcript
Follow the instructions on the college’s transcript request page. Fees may range from free to $15. You may need to:
- Create an account
- Verify your identity
- Select “Official Transcript”
- Choose electronic or mailed delivery
- Enter the receiving college information
- Pay any required fee
- Submit the request
Step 3: Confirm Delivery
After submitting your request:
- Save your confirmation email or receipt
- Track the transcript if tracking is available
- Check your college admissions portal
- Contact the admissions office if the transcript is not marked as received after a few business days
Electronic transcripts are often delivered within 1–3 business days. Mailed transcripts may take longer.
