Each transcript costs $3 per request or $5.50 for physical copies in addition to any USPS International fees that may occur. You can find the details at www.dccc.edu/transcripts.

Former students and alumni without a current delaGATE account can create one and then complete the transcript process. If you need further assistance, you can send an email to records@dccc.edu or call the Records Department (610-325-2838). The Alumni Office is also available to help all graduates with this process going forward.

CONNECTIONS
Earlier this month, the College suffered a loss in its family. The Alumni Association sends its deepest condolences to the friends, family and colleagues of Captain Matthew LeTourneau ’95 of the Philadelphia Fire Department, who perished in the line of duty. Captain LeTourneau was both a graduate and EMS instructor here at the College, impacting many lives during his distinguished career. We dedicate our alumni profile for January ( www.dccc.edu/alumni-friends/news ) in his honor and thank all first responders who risk their lives daily without hesitation.
