Transcript Evaluations

An evaluation service for students interested in officially transferring coursework completed at another college/university AND/OR external exam scores to Foothill College.

General Transcript Evaluations

Transcripts are not automatically evaluated upon submission to Admissions and Records. To transfer coursework to Foothill College, a general transcript evaluation request must be submitted. This request can be made for the following types of transcripts:

  • U.S. College/University Offical Transcripts
  • DD-214 Military Service Records

General Transcript Evaluation Request

Eligibility Requirements

To be eligible, a student must meet the following requirements:

  1. currently enrolled in at least one (1) Foothill College course;
  2. have completed at least six (6) units at Foothill College; and
  3. have ALL eligible official transcripts filed with Admissions & Records.

Processing Time

Once we have received your request it will be processed in the order received.

Please allow up to 45 days from the time of submitting for it to be processed before attempting to register. Processing times may increase during peak seasons.

Foothill can evaluate U.S. transcripts from regionally accredited colleges and universities. Your completed courses will be reviewed to determine whether they meet Foothill’s course equivalency, satisfy general education requirements (local GE, IGETC, CSU Breadth), or fulfill major coursework. After your evaluation is processed, any approved transfer credits will be added to DegreeWorks.

Veterans may request an official evaluation of their DD-214 military service record. We highly recommend consulting with a veteran's counselor before submitting your request.

International credits require a course-by-course evaluation from a recognized credential agency (e.g., WES). The agency must send the evaluation directly to Foothill Admissions & Records. A counselor will determine how the coursework applies. Request a Foreign Transcript Evaluation by contacting Counseling.
