Transcript Evaluation

Get credit for what you have done at other institutions. PPSC is happy to accept credit from other regionally accredited institutions of higher education. Students who wish to transfer credits from another college to PPSC must provide official transcripts and declare a major.

Transcripts are typically evaluated on a course-by-course basis, so we are unable to evaluate requests via email or over the phone.

Re-Evaluation of Transcript

Transcripts With a Previous Name

If you are sending in an official transcript from another institution that has your previous last name on it, rather than the one on record at PPSC, the transcript may not be identified as being yours. Please contact us at records@pikespeak.edu or 719-502-3000 to update your records so that your transcript may be evaluated in a timely manner.

Re-Evaluation of Transcript

When a student changes their major, a re-evaluation may be requested. To request a re-evaluation, the change of major form and a transcript re-evaluation request form must be completed. 

It will take approximately 2-3 weeks for the initial re-evaluation to be completed. The same criteria used for the initial transcript evaluation will be used. Once a transcript has been re-evaluated, an email will be sent informing the student that the results have been posted.
