Transcript Evaluation Process

Transcript Evaluation Process

About Your Transcripts

Official  transcripts of previous academic work in college are required from all students. These transcripts become part of the student's permanent file and will not be released or forwarded to other institutions. Students may be exempt from assessment for English, Reading and/or Mathematics if their prior coursework meets the necessary criteria. 

No previous academic work may be disregarded. Students should request that their former school(s) send an official transcript of their records to Butte College. Anything other than an official transcript cannot be accepted by Admissions & Records.

Students should be aware that schools may charge a fee for forwarding the transcripts.

Transcript Evaluation Process

Students must determine if either a Prerequisite Clearance or a Transcript Evaluation is most appropriate.

     - Prerequisite Clearances allow you to register for classes based on prerequisite courses taken at another institution. More information can be found on the Prerequisites Tab on the left.

     - Transcript Evaluations award credit(s) from courses taken at other academic institutions. Students may have completed coursework at an outside institution that may meet Associate Degree, Certificate, and General Education requirements. Evaluations may take up to 12 weeks to process.

To have a transcript evaluated, please complete the following:

  1. Students must have prior or current enrollment at Butte College in order for your transcript evaluation to be processed.
  2. Students transferring academic credit to Butte College from other regionally accredited colleges should send their official transcripts to Butte College for evaluation.  Students will receive a notification that the transcript has been received to their Butte College student email.
  3. Returning or currently enrolled students at Butte College should submit the Transcript Evaluation Request form to the Admissions & Records Office. You may email the form to evaluations@jmswierski.com or mail it to:

Admissions & Records
Butte College
3536 Butte Campus Dr.
Oroville, CA 95965

If you are not currently enrolled and have never attended Butte College, please register for classes prior to submitting the form. If you need assistance with registration or with the transcript evaluation process, please call (530) 895-2361.

  1. Once the evaluation has been completed, an email notification will be sent to the student’s Butte College email account.

Military Transcripts / DD-214

Please submit your military transcripts and/or DD-214's to the Veterans Services Office for evaluation. For more information please call (530) 895-2566.

International Evaluations

For individuals who have completed coursework outside the United States: transcripts must be evaluated by an approved credential evaluation service prior to being submitted to the Admissions & Records Office. The evaluation must include a U.S. course-to-course evaluation indicating the level (upper & lower division) for each course. We do not accept faxed transcripts.

Butte College accepts foreign transcripts that have been evaluated by a credential evaluation service accredited by the National Association of Credential Evaluation Services.
