University Transcripts and Diplomas
Transcripts
A CCU transcript is a comprehensive record of a student's academic progress at Colorado Christian University, and the University's certified statement of the student's academic record, including coursework, grades, and degrees earned. The transcript includes all degrees, majors, minors, emphases, certificates, cross-disciplinary studies, licenses, and any applicable academic honors conferred with their respective date. Transcripts do not include honors or merits obtained at previous institutions, nor extracurricular activities that bear no academic credit.
Official transcripts will be provided upon request through CCU's online ordering system (Parchment). Electronic transcripts should be ordered when possible to ensure timely processing. Unofficial transcripts for current students may be obtained through Student Planning at no charge. For additional transcript information, including the ordering process, go to the Transcript Request web page.
Diplomas
All Colorado Christian University diplomas are printed on high-quality paper. Student names are printed on the diploma as requested on the graduation application. Degrees are conferred throughout the year upon verification that all program requirements have been completed. The diploma includes the student's name, degree, major, and academic honors. The diploma does not include any minors, emphases, or cross-disciplinary studies. All students obtaining a degree from the University will receive one diploma per degree free of charge. Additional copies are available for a fee and can be ordered here. Students should allow up to 10 weeks following degree conferral to receive their diploma. CCU also provides a digital version of the student's diploma. Graduates can retrieve a digital diploma upon receipt of an email or text from our diploma partner explaining how to access their award. The digital diploma can be shared on various social media platforms via a verified link or via pdf.
Letters of Completion
Since degrees are conferred upon verification that all program requirements have been completed, letters of completion are no longer provided. Students can order an official transcript to provide evidence of completing their program requirements.
Information on ordering transcripts and replacement diplomas can be found online at www.ccu.edu/transcript.

CCU reserves the right to forward education records to other institutions so long as the disclosure is for purposes related to the student's enrollment.

Copies of the policy and a list of all records maintained on students by the University are available from Service Central online.
