Program of study at PVCC: ________________________________________________________
List all college transcripts, CLEP/AP scores, military training, etc. to be evaluated:
I understand the following:
I must be enrolled in a program of study at PVCC.
The evaluation process will begin only after the start of the semester in which you are enrolled and this
form and all transcripts requested for evaluation have been received.
Transcript evaluation requests should only be submitted if I am planning to complete a degree or certificate
program at PVCC.
Only courses that apply to the declared program of study indicated above will be transferred. I will need to submit
another request form if I change my program and would like a re-evaluation for the new program.
In order to receive transfer credit from another institution, that institution has to be accredited by a regional
accrediting agency or association.
Grades do not transfer and thus will not affect my GPA at PVCC.
Only credit courses with a grade of “C” or higher will transfer. Grades of “P” or “S” will not transfer unless the
transcript legend indicates that it is equivalent to a “C” or higher. Developmental courses do not transfer.
It is my responsibility to review transfer credit awarded via my SIS account. Any questions should be directed to
the Registrar’s Office.
This request covers courses that are a part of the record at the time of the request. Another request will be
needed for additional courses taken after this initial request.

TRANSCRIPT EVALUATION
REQUEST Q & A’s
1. Do I need to have my former transcripts evaluated?
It depends. If you are planning to complete a certificate or
degree program at PVCC, you may want to have your
transcripts evaluated; however, you are not required to do
so. If you are not pursuing a certificate or degree
program, do not submit transcripts for an evaluation.
2. I am not seeking a degree at PVCC. However, I wish
to take a course at PVCC that requires a prerequisite
course which I took at another institution. What do I
do?
Bring your unofficial transcript to an advisor in the
Admissions and Advising Center. Once they confirm you
have met the prerequisite, they will do a manual override
to enroll you in the course.
3. Which office is responsible for evaluating my
transcripts?
The Registrar/Records Office is responsible for evaluating
all college transcripts; international transcripts; AP, IB, and
CLEP test scores; and military transcripts.

request forms?

applicable)

offer

EEE mean?
EEE’s are elective credits. You may be awarded EEE
credit when one of the following happens:

to a PVCC course

PVCC course
The transferring course is one with a lab component,
and the lab is missing or you received a failing grade
for the lab

progress?
An advisor may determine if the EEE credit is applicable
towards your degree progress. If needed, they may refer
you to the Dean responsible for your program.
