Transcript Evaluation

Students with college, university or military coursework completed outside San Mateo County Community College District should submit official transcripts from all previously attended schools to:

Electronic Transcripts by Parchment or your institution can be sent to: transevaluation@smccd.edu

OR by Mail if an electronic transcript cannot be produced:

College of San Mateo 

Attn: Transcript Evaluation Services  

1700 W Hillsdale Blvd. 

San Mateo, CA 94402 

Please allow up to 6 weeks of processing time in order for transcripts to be added to your file as we receive transcripts from various sources across Skyline, Canada, and College of San Mateo campuses. For example, sending in an electronic transcript to us does not mean that it will be immediately on file the same day you requested it to be sent.

Transcript MUST be sent electronically directly from your college/university to our office. If your previous institution does not send electronic transcripts, please contact your school's Admissions & Records office to provide us an official paper transcript via physical mail. Any form of unofficial transcripts are NOT acceptable for the evaluation process & sending in a Skyline, Canada, or College of San Mateo transcript is unncessary as we already have this information in our records.

Questions regarding receipt of transcripts should be directed to transevaluation@smccd.edu.

Evaluation results serve as the district’s official response providing students and counselors essential information for academic planning and are available in Degree Works™.  Admissions & Records Offices use evaluation results to confirm certificate or degree completion, CSU GE certification or IGETC certification.

Transcripts must be official and list final grades for all courses. Any course with an I, IP, RD may delay an evaluation and require written explanation from the primary institution for not having a final grade in the course.

Lower-division associate degree-applicable coursework completed with an A, B, C, D, F, CR or P is reviewed, analyzed, and applied to educational goals within SMCCCD. Courses with W, NC or NP notations are not reviewed. Grade Point Average (GPA) may be affected by coursework applied from these transcripts.

A completed transcript evaluation CANNOT be removed from a student's overall SMCCCD academic history under any circumstance.
