From transcripts to transfer credits, we're here to help.

ECC’s Records Office maintains your academic records from your first day on campus through graduation and beyond. We treat your records with the utmost confidentiality and maintain them in a secure online environment, giving you online access any time of day or night.

Grades & Grade Point Average (GPA)

Your grades are important to you—and they’re important to us, too. Your grade point average (GPA) is an important indicator of your progress in college, and it’s used as a factor if you plan to transfer elsewhere and in determining scholarships.
