Faculty Qualification Official Transcript Communication Template

Created by Academic Affairs August 2025

This template can be used by Departments to  communicate with new faculty on official transcript requirements at Kirkwood.

Template:

Welcome to Kirkwood!

Kirkwood is required to have an official transcript on file for all faculty teaching credit classes.  An official transcript comes directly from the college(s) you attended to Kirkwood.  It is important that we receive your transcript as soon as possible.  The transcript should arrive in the Academic Affairs Office within 2 weeks of your date of hire.  Continued employment will be based on the receipt and verification of the transcript.

If you need to submit a transcript from Kirkwood, just send an email to the Academic Affairs email below and your Kirkwood transcript will be placed in your credentialing folder.

It is most efficient to request an electronic copy, if available. Please use the bellow information to have your official transcript(s) sent to Kirkwood:

• If sending an electronic:
  academicaffairs@kirkwood.edu

• Via the Postal Service:
  Kirkwood Community College
  Office of Academic Affairs, 3067 Cedar Hall
  6301 Kirkwood Blvd SW
  Cedar Rapids, IA   52404
