Transcript Evaluation

Submitting Official Transcripts

PREFERRED METHOD By Email:

Most schools utilize an electronic transcript process. Please check with your previous school to see if this is an option.

Transcripts should be sent directly to PPSC at records@ppcc.edu.

Electronic transcripts must be issued directly to PPSC from the previous school. Transcripts issued to a third party or forwarded links and/or transcripts will not be accepted.

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.

Evaluation Process


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

Once a transcript has been received, it takes approximately 2-3 weeks for the initial evaluation to be completed. There are several factors which could lengthen the processing time, including retrieval of course descriptions or additional information needed, sending coursework to academic departments for input, and peak Records office periods, i.e., end of a term, graduation.

Please review your Degreecheck to see courses transferred in and how they apply towards your course of study.

Transcripts With a Previous Name

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@ppcc.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.
