Supporting Education, Changing Lives

At Hawkeye Community College, we believe every student can succeed, and the Hawkeye Foundation is here to help make that possible. Whether it’s a bus pass to get to class, a textbook when money is tight, or a scholarship to ease financial stress, the Foundation provides support so students can focus on their education. Thanks to generous donors, we also fund hands-on learning experiences, help teachers and staff grow, and provide important campus resources.

Every day, we receive thank-you letters from students sharing stories of hope, hard work, and gratitude. Their success is proof that education changes lives—and that every student truly matters.

Transcripts and Duplicate Diploma or Certificate Request

Your academic records play a crucial role in your educational and professional path. Whether you're applying for a job, transferring to another institution, or replacing a lost or damaged diploma, we’ve got you covered. Find all the details you need to request these essential documents quickly and easily.

A transcript is an official record of all college credits/CEUs/CEHs granted to you while enrolled at Hawkeye Community College (formerly known as Hawkeye Institute of Technology). Your transcripts are kept by Hawkeye Community College forever.

We do not release any non-Hawkeye transcripts that may be a part of your student file. Examples include your high school transcripts or transcripts from other colleges/universities.

How to Request Your Transcript

College Credit Program Diploma Request

If your diploma for a certificate, diploma, or degree credit program has been misplaced, lost, or destroyed you can request a duplicate diploma by completing the Duplicate Diploma Request form [PDF].

The cost of a duplicate diploma is $15. You can pay by credit card at the Business Office, mail a check with the request form, or fax the form with credit card info.

Please allow three to five business days for processing.

All duplicate diplomas will have the current Hawkeye president signature and will say Hawkeye Community College even if you graduated when the College was Hawkeye Institute of Technology.
