Transcript Evaluations

We're here to help you get your previous coursework counted toward your goals at Miramar College.  Follow the steps below to request a transcript evaluation.

Step 1:  Submit Your Official Transcripts

Please send official transcripts from every college or university you've attended.  You may also submit AP, IB, or CLEP scores.

How to Submit Official Transcripts

  1. Electronic transcripts-SDCCD accepts official electronic transcripts from:
  • Parchment
  • National Student Clearinghouse

If your school does not use these services, they may email official transcripts to:  [email protected]  

2. Paper transcripts (not preferred - may be delayed):

          San Diego Community College District
          Attn:  Transcript Department
          3375 Camino Del Rio South, Room 100
          San Diego, CA  92108
 **Important Notes:
  • Students are responsible for requesting transcripts from each institution.
  • Foreign transcripts are not required unless you want them evaluated.
  • Official transcripts must be issued within the last year.  If older than one year, you'll need to request a new copy.
 
Confirming Transcript Receipt

If you want to check whether your transcripts have arrived:

  • Email: [email protected] (Including your student ID number)
  • Please allow 2-4 weeks after sending transcripts before reaching out.
  • If transcripts still don't show as received, submit a ticket through the mySDCCD Support Desk.

Step 2: Request a Transcript Evaluation

Transcripts are not evaluated automatically. Once submitted, evaluations take up to 90 business days (about 18 weeks).

Before You Submit Your Request

It's strongly recommended that you meet with a counselor first to cleary identify your educational pathway.  Any changes to your Education Plan after submitting your request will require restarting the 90-day evaluation process.  If you're sure your plan is correct, you may proceed without a counseling meeting.

You can explore your counseling options on the Counseling webpage.

Submitting the Evaluation Request

Go to the District's Forms & Documents page and find the "Request for Transcript Evaluation (Online)" form.

 **Important for UC-IGETC Students** 

  If you plan to clear the Language Other Than English (LOTE) requirement:

  • Upload your high school transcript when you submit your evaluation request.
  • If you attended a school where English was not the primary language, meet with a counselor to discuss clearing LOTE.
After Your Evaluation

Once your evaluation is complete, you'll receive an email notification for the district evaluator.  You'll then want to schedule an appointment with a counselor to update your Education Plan.

     Note:  Transcript evaluations are processed by the SDCCD District, not the individual campuses (Miramar, Mesa, or City).

Foreign Transcripts

Foreign coursework may be used toward degree or certificate requirements. 

How to Submit Foreign Transcripts

  1. Have your transcripts evaluated by a National Association of Credential Evaluation Services (NACES) -approved evaluation service.
  2. Request a comprehensive evaluation (must include lower and upper division coursework).
  3. Submit the completed evaluation to the campus Records Office along with the Request for Foreign Transcript Credits form.

     Even if your transcript is alr4eady in English, foreign transcripts still require a third-party evaluation.

     Please note:  Once submitted, transcripts cannot be removed from your record.
