FACTS: Accessing Grades and Unofficial Transcripts
FACTS stands for Florida Academic Counseling and Tracking System. The State of Florida, the Florida Community College System and the State University System have joined forces to provide students web-based access to unofficial transcripts, degree audits, degree shopping, career information and much more!
Students enrolled at Chipola are able to access their Chipola grades via the internet at www.facts.org. Student grades will be available as soon as they are entered into the school's database at the end of each term.
What You Will Need
You will need your Social Security number (SSN) and personal identification number (PIN) to access your Chipola information. Chipola will keep the PINs active for a minimum of two years, after that, student information may be placed into history due to space constraints. If you need to see your information after it has been migrated, please complete the PIN Change/Reactivate Request Form and submit to the Admissions and Records Office for reactivation. Please allow 5 -7 days for processing.
To Obtain your PIN
All students enrolled at Chipola beginning with Fall 2000 have been assigned an 8 digit PIN according to the following criteria:
- The first four digits on the PIN equal the last four digits of your SSN.
- The next two digits of the PIN equal your numeric birth month (i.e. January=01, February=02, December=12, etc.)
- The last two digits of the PIN equal the numeric YEAR of your birth.
Example: If your social security number is 123-45-6789 and your birthday is January 6, 1965 or 01/06/65, your pin would be 67890165. Your PIN should be valid for the next 2 years.
To Change your PIN
You may change your PIN by printing and submitting the PIN Change/Reactivate Request Form to the Admissions and Registration Office. Allow 5-7 days for processing. At this time Chipola does not have an automatic system in place to change the pin online.
