Transcript Review

What is unofficial transcript review?

If you have taken a placement test at another college in the last two years we can use that for placement. Unofficial transcript review is for transfer students who have credit for classes taken at another college. 

How do I have my unofficial transcripts reviewed?

Unofficial transcripts can be used for placement. Follow these steps to have your unofficial transcript reviewed:

1. Prepare your unofficial transcript for TCC review.

• Make sure you're admitted to TCC. You can upload your unofficial transcripts in the process. You should see evaluation for placement in your ctcLink Student Portal within 5 days. Please allow extra time for weekends and holidays.
• Your name and the college name must be clearly noted on every page.
• Your TCC student ID number must be noted on every page.

2. Send your prepared unofficial transcript to TCC. You can send it by email or bring it in person.

• Email to Placement - placement@a220149.com. Please include your unofficial transcript as an attachment.
• Bring it to the Welcome Center in Building 8 on the main Tacoma campus. You should see evaluation for placement in your ctcLink Student Portal in 5 days. Please allow extra time for weekends and holidays.

3. You'll be notified of class placement within 5 days via ctcLink in the Student Portal.

 

Other Information:

• For specific class selections, please meet with an academic advisor.
• This review process places you into classes.
• You cannot earn credit for the classes until Enrollment Services evaluates your official transcript. To get credit for transfer classes, order official transcripts from your former college and have that school send them to TCC (Bldg. 7, Enrollment Services, 6501 S. 19th St., Tacoma, WA 98466), or electronically to credeval@a220149.com.
• Official transcripts are evaluated after a student has enrolled and began attending classes. Allow 8-12 weeks after your first quarter of enrollment for an official transcript evaluation. Please note that the wait can be longer during peak graduation periods. Transfer transcripts are evaluated AFTER a student has registered for at least one quarter.
