Submit official transcripts from all external institutions before requesting an evaluation. Allow 8–10 weeks for processing (time may vary during peak periods). To ensure evaluation before a semester begins, submit your request 8–10 weeks before the first day of registration for that semester.

Cuyamaca College provides students who have completed coursework at outside institutions with an official evaluation of how this coursework applies to:

• Associate degrees and certificates at Cuyamaca College
• CSU GE Certification for students transferring to a California State University campus
• IGETC Certification for students transferring to a University of California campus or a California State University Campus

To request a transcript evaluation, you must:

1. Be currently enrolled at Cuyamaca College.
2. Send official transcripts from all previously attended institutions to the Admissions and Records office. (Students who have taken coursework at Grossmont College do not need to send official transcripts to the Admissions and Records office.) Click to find information on foreign transcripts and regional accreditation.
3. Email your request for a transcript evaluation to cuyamaca.admissions@gcccd.edu.
4. If you have taken courses at independent or out-of-state colleges or universities, you may be asked to provide additional information such as a course description or a course syllabus.

You will be notified by Admissions and Records when your evaluation has been completed. You may then schedule an appointment with your counselor to go over your evaluation.

To ensure accuracy, evaluations may take up to 6 weeks. Processing may take longer if additional information is needed.
