Transcript and Test Score Instructions
Final Official Transcripts - Due July 15, 2008
You must have your school send official transcripts that include spring 2008 grades.
Official transcripts are required from all high schools and colleges you previously attended even if you withdrew from the course(s) or the course(s) were non-academic or not applicable to your college major. College courses listed on high school transcripts will not be considered official. A separate college transcript must be sent for any type of college course taken during high school.
You must request that official transcripts, bearing the high school or college letterhead, be sent directly to SDSU’s Office of Admissions either electronically or in a sealed envelope. For a transcript to be considered official, it must remain in its original sealed envelope. If opened, the transcript will no longer be valid. Please request your transcripts as soon as spring grades are posted so that the transcripts will arrive by the July 15 deadline. (Note that it can take several weeks for a school to send a transcript once it is ordered.)
You must submit transcripts from all colleges you attended while in high school (including spring 2008 grades). Electronic transcripts are preferred for courses completed at Grossmont College, Cuyamaca College, San Diego Mesa College, San Diego Miramar College, San Diego City College, and Southwestern Community College.
SAT and/or ACT Scores
Scholastic Aptitude Test of The College Board (SAT Reasoning) and/or the American College Testing Program (ACT) scores are needed for admission determination and placement in English and mathematics. If your SAT Reasoning and/or ACT test scores are not listed on your high school transcript and you did not indicate SDSU as a destination for your scores when you took your test, you must contact the testing agency to request the electronic scores be sent to SDSU. Please write or call the appropriate testing agency listed below.
