IMPORTANT: For transcripts and exam scores to be considered "official," they must come directly from your external college or university. Electronic transcripts and exam scores that originate from a student’s email address are considered unofficial and will not be accepted by TES for evaluation. 

In order to be in queue for a transcript evaluation, students must be actively enrolled and have a declared program of study. All students who have indicated that they attended an outside institution on CCCApply and completed matriculation will then receive a Transcript Evaluation Success Plan in Student Success Link.

To view your success plan and check for updates, please log into mySMCCCD Student Portal and select “Student Success Link”. Our department will send automated updates to your my.smccd.edu account regarding your evaluation status and any additional information we may need.

There are two methods of providing us your non-SMCCD official transcript(s):

Electronically submit your transcript via Parchment or National Clearinghouse to SMCCD: Select Skyline, College of San Mateo or Cañada College as the receiver of the transcript or have the transcript directed to the following email: transevaluation@smccd.edu

Please note that we will not accept the transcript if the transcript is sent to your own email/home address and then sent to TES using a personal email. This is no longer considered an official transcript. The transcript must be ordered from Parchment or National Clearinghouse and sent directly to us.

OR

Request your college to send a physical copy to SMCCD via mail to the following address:

College of San Mateo 

Attn: Transcript Evaluation Services  

1700 W Hillsdale Blvd. 

San Mateo, CA 94402
