Colleges and Universities must ensure the quality of the education they offer by adhering to a specified set of evaluation criteria determined by private educational associations called accrediting agencies. Colleges and universities that meet an agency's criteria are then "accredited" by that agency.
To be accepted by the Grossmont Cuyamaca Community College District, your courses must have been taken at an institution regionally accredited by one of the following agencies:
Abbreviation |
Accrediting Association |
MSA |
Middle States Association (of Colleges and Schools) |
NASC |

When submitting test scores from the College Board (CLEP, AP, etc.) Please use:
College Board Code: 4252
Please note that this code is different than the code you will use when filling out the FAFSA or other financial aid applications. Please visit the financial aid webpage for more information.
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.
If your transcripts were issued in a foreign country from a non-American institution, or if they are in a language other than English, they require special handling.
