Transcripts are not automatically evaluated for acceptance or equivalent coursework. Students are notified when transcripts are received. When the student determines that all transcripts from other colleges have been received, an evaluation may be requested using the Evaluation Request Form which is available in the Evaluations Office in Holt Center, Room 101.

Official Transcripts

Official transcripts are those that are either sent directly to San Joaquin Delta College from the previous college or hand delivered in the sealed envelope from that college. Transcripts that have been opened or unofficial transcripts are unacceptable and will not be evaluated.

In-State Transcripts

Course descriptions and/or a college catalog may be required for evaluations of transcripts from other educational institutions in the state of California if the college has changed their course names or their course numbering systems.

Private or Out-of State Transcripts

A catalog and/or course descriptions for courses taken at private or out-of-state educational institutions must be provided before an evaluation can be completed.

Requesting an Evaluation

Once all transcripts, catalogs, and/or course descriptions have been received, an evaluation for degree, certificate, or general education certification may be requested. A minimum of three weeks is required for completion of the evaluation.

Evaluations needed for registration purposes or counseling appointments should be requested to allow for the required three week period

Transcript Copies

College transcripts become the property of San Joaquin Delta College. Under no circumstances will copies of the transcripts be provided to the student nor will the transcripts be returned to the student.
