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 an 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.

Evaluation Process


Initial transcript evaluations usually take 2-3 weeks to complete, however evaluation time may vary based on your academic circumstances and office workload.

Post-Evaluation - Next Steps

After receiving email confirmation of your transcript evaluation completion, please conduct a Degree Audit to review applied transfer credits, waivers, and exemptions for your declared Pikes Peak degree.
