Official Evaluation Request

An official evaluation confirms how your non-PCC credits may be used at PCC for the IGETC, CSU, and PCC GE's. With the results, you will be able to determine which classes you need to complete in order to meet your academic goals. Use this online service to request your official evaluation! There is a 8-10 week processing delay.

If you only have credits from a California Community College, our online counselor will provide your IGETC or CSU GE evaluation results immediately.  

If you need an evaluation for your associate degree major requirements (not CTE), an evaluation request may need to be forwarded to the evaluator.

Certificates are processed by the Division office so an official evaluation is not needed.

We recommend connecting with the Division to discuss course substitution options.  

If using AP scores for IGETC or CSU GE, the online counselor will provide the results.

If using AP scores for major requirements, you will need to submit an AP petition. The online counselor will assist you with the AP petition process. 

All transcripts must be on file with no in-progress work shown.  All final grades must be posted on the transcript for an evaluation request to be forwarded to an evaluator.  

  • Exception: If you do not want to use your foreign credit, then your foreign records are not required for this official evaluation request.

PCC's system currently is not able to input credits from another college onto your LancerPlan audit or show in LancerPoint. We may still use your credits towards IGETC/CSU GE or associate degree or transfer but credits outside of PCC cannot be shown within PCC's system yet. We hope to be able to do this in the near future.  :)

Admission & Records requires that all official transcripts are complete and on file for an evaluation to be completed. 

  • Exception: If you do not want to use your foreign credit, then your foreign records are not required for this official evaluation request.

Official evaluations for transfer may only be requested for IGETC GE, CSU GE, and AAT/AST degree requirements.
