Forms & Resources

While attending RVC, you may need to make changes to your student account, request registration changes, apply for graduation, or request transcripts. In order to make this process easier, the forms are outlined below:

The Family Education Rights and Privacy Act is designed to protect the rights and privacy of students and their records. This form allows a student to give any individual of their choice the right to review and obtain student records and information.

FERPA Authorization Form

The purpose of this form is to inform Rock Valley College of a change in student information, such as contact information (address, phone, email, etc.), or your social security number. 

Information Update Form

This form is designed to help students change their legal name or select a chosen/preferred name. 

Change of Name/Chosen Name Request Form

Students can complete this form in order to register for a class and withdraw or drop courses.

Degree/Certificate Curriculum Code Guide

 

Please complete this form if you are a student that is planning to complete a program of study at Rock Valley College and need an evaluation to receive potential transfer credit. 

Transcript Evaluation Form

 

This form allows a student to request a report of the grades earned after final grades post. This is not an unofficial or official transcript. A grade report is very much a “report card” that students can request for employers, insurance companies, etc.
