This form is only for evaluation of external math and/or English coursework toward SBCC general education requirements. 


3 Steps to complete the form:
  1. Students must work with an academic counselor to determine if this form is necessary. You can contact an academic counselor:
  2. Gather the following support documents:
    • OFFICIAL transcripts (REQUIRED)
      • Follow the instructions on Incoming Transcripts to submit your transcripts (or official evaluation report for international transcripts) to SBCC Admissions and Records and verify your transcripts have been received.
        • To avoid delays, it is recommended that your institution submit your official transcripts to SBCC electronically if they offer that service.  If you have questions or concerns please contact us at transcriptevaluation@pipeline.sbcc.edu. 
      • Official transcripts must be verified as received by Admissions and Records BEFORE you submit the form or your request will not be processed.
      • Do not submit transcripts to the Transcript Evaluation Office. They will not be considered official, and will not be reviewed or processed.
      • Official transcripts must be from a regionally accredited institution and show proof you have completed the required coursework or your request will be denied.
    • Additional support documents (optional)
      • If you are using AP test scores, course syllabi or outlines, or other documentation in support of your request you will need a digital copy of the document(s) to submit with your form.
      • The department may request a detailed syllabus/course outline in order to make a decision. You may want to include this when you first submit your form to avoid any delays in processing.
