Transferring Coursework
In order to receive credit toward graduation for coursework completed at other institutions, it is the your responsibility to have official copies transferred to Fresno City College for evaluation.
If any transcript or other proof of coursework is submitted to Fresno City College with ‘work in progress’, you will need to submit a new copy once their grades or scores have been posted.
Transcripts from Other Institutions
Transfer students should request Transcripts from their previous institution and submit an official copy to Admissions and Records. An unofficial transcript may be used for review by a counselor upon your request to determine course to course equivalency in order to correctly advise you and to provide prerequisite overrides.
An official evaluation of Transcripts will not be conducted and transferred units will not appear on WebAdvisor until you have met all degree requirements and have applied for graduation.
Official Transcripts from all colleges previously attended must be submitted to Fresno City College by the end of the first semester you attend here. These transcripts must arrive in an envelope sealed by the issuing institution. We cannot accept faxed transcripts as official.
If a course substitution is needed, a course description and syllabi are required to determine if courses are equivalent to Fresno City College courses. You are responsible for providing course descriptions if they are not available in FCC’s resource databases.
Foreign Transcripts
Official Foreign Transcripts must be submitted to Admissions & Records Office with an official Credential Evaluation. The Official Transcripts must arrive in an envelope sealed by the issuing institution. We cannot accept faxed Transcripts or Credential Evaluations as official. The submission must include a U.S. educational equivalent summary and course-to-course evaluation.
A list of approved evaluation companies is available at the Admissions & Records Office, at the International Students Office, or online. Foreign Records Evaluation Services
