Important Announcement: New Transcript Process
As of December 1, the College has a new and improved process in place for anyone requesting academic transcripts. A new tool, Parchment, will enable students to secure both official and unofficial copies of their transcripts either hard copy or electronically that can be available in 24 hours. Each request will now cost $3 per request in addition to any USPS Domestic or International fees that may occur. You can find all the new details on our website at www.dccc.edu/transcripts .

CONNECTIONS
This holiday season, there’s a new stocking stuffer to consider which also has ties back to the College. Nick Kupsey ’04, recently wrote the humorous story featuring everyone’s favorite convenience store. The book, The Five People You Meet in Wawa found its initial success online after strong sales on Amazon and is now available in local Barnes and Noble bookstores. If you’re looking for that last-minute gift for that special alum on your list, consider this in addition to your gift cards and NFC East Champions Philadelphia Eagles merchandise. You can read more about Nick and his projects on our website at www.dccc.edu/alumni-friends/news
