Transcript Evaluation

Cuyamaca College's procedures for the evaluation of foreign transcript:

 

  1. We must receive a detailed evaluation report with subject breakdowns, course descriptions and grades from the official foreign transcripts. The official report must be in English and in a sealed envelope.

  3. English and speech courses on any evaluation report will be awarded elective credit only.
  4. Courses will only be used to satisfy major requirements with the approval of the department on a Modification of Major form.
  5. Courses will not be used for General Education Breadth or IGETC certifications.
  6. Official foreign transcripts will not be required by Cuyamaca College since the official transcripts are submitted to the evaluation service.

 

If you have questions regarding this procedure, please contact the admissions office at cuyamaca.admissions@gcccd.edu.

Removing an Institution From Your Record

If you incorrectly reported on your admissions application having attended any college or university, an official letter of non-attendance will be required in order to have the institution removed from your record at Cuyamaca College.  This applies to both domestic and international post-secondary institutions.  An official letter of non-attendance can be obtained from most institutions in place of an official transcript.  All documents must be delivered to Cuyamaca College in a sealed envelope in order to be considered official.

 

Translation service will be required if an official letter of non-attendance from any institution outside of the United States is issued in a language other than English.
