How to Request an Evaluation of Coursework

 

Steps:

1. Enroll at Santa Barbara City College (SBCC).

2. Submit official transcripts to SBCC Admissions and Records from all past institutions you have attended. 

   • Follow the instructions on Incoming Transcripts to submit your transcripts to SBCC Admissions & Records and verify your transcripts have been received. Transcripts sent anywhere other than directly to Admissions & Records from your other institution are considered unofficial.

   • AP Scores: see Step 4, second bullet point.  

3. Verify your official transcripts were received by SBCC Admissions and Records. If your official transcripts are not on file with Admissions and Records your request for evaluation will not be processed, unless you qualify for a temporary clearance based on your unofficial transcripts. 

4. Submit a request for evaluation to the Transcript Evaluation Office:

   • Prerequisite and corequisite clearance requests: Follow the instructions on the Prerequisite Instructions & Forms page.

   • AP score requests: Follow the instructions on the Advanced Placement (AP) Test Scores page to submit your Score Report.

   • Evaluation of California Community College transcripts: Use the TAPPER online form to request an evaluation.

   • Evaluation of math or English coursework toward SBCC general education requirements: Follow the instructions on the External Math & English Coursework Evaluation page. 

   • Evaluation of transcripts from other institutions such as UC, CSU, private, out of state, or international: Contact an Academic Counselor for assistance.
