Accessing Student Accounts and Records

Sauk Identification Number

Sauk Valley Community College provides a Sauk identification number to each student for college identification and administrative purposes. A Sauk identification number is issued after the student information form is processed by the Office of Admissions and Records. Students will be notified by mail of their Sauk identification number. This number will be used for all transactions at Sauk Valley Community College.

Sauk Login

Your Sauk Login gives you access to all the SVCC accounts you will need to use including Canvas and student email.

Information about accessing Sauk online systems is available at svcc.edu/login.

Transfer of Credits

Requesting transfer of Sauk credits is the responsibility of the student. Sauk will not automatically send records and the student's signature is required to release these records.

Current and former Sauk students have the ability to print an unofficial transcript, free of charge from Student Self-Service at any time.

To request an official transcript visit Student Self-Service. This gives current and former students the ability to submit a request for an official transcript as well as make payment for the transcript. 

Grades and FERPA

Grades are not reported until the end of a semester at which time the student may view them in Student Self-Service. At this time the grades for students in Dual Credit courses are sent to respective high school counselors for transcription purposes. Grades are not sent home and are not updated weekly as some high school students may be accustomed to. Students are encouraged to keep track of their own grades.

FERPA stands for Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act and it is a federal law that protects the privacy of educational records, provides students the right to inspect and review their educational records, the right to seek to amend those records, and the right to limit disclosure of information from those records. For more information, contact the Registrar (Student Service Center) at 815-835-6378 or visit svcc.edu/ferpa.

Adding Courses

During the first week of courses students may add courses to their schedule by filling out an add form with the Dual Credit Coordinator. During the second week of courses, the student will need an instructor signature to add a course. Adding courses after the first two weeks is not permitted.
