Evaluation of Credit taken within the United States
If your previous credit was taken within the United States, follow these simple steps:

If you have attended other colleges, have ALL your official transcripts of prior work, including AP or IB scores, sent to:

Admissions & Records
Cuyamaca College
900 Rancho San Diego Pkwy
El Cajon, CA 92019

(If your school is local, you may hand carry your transcripts to Admissions and Records. All hand carried transcripts must be in a sealed envelope and have the official seal of the school.)

Contact the Admissions and Records office to determine if your transcripts have arrived.  Once all transcripts have arrived, contact the Counseling Center to request an evaluation. 

Once your evaluation is complete, you will be contacted to set up an appointment with a counselor to receive your degree audit.
