Transcript evaluation is not required before registering for classes with prerequisites. A completed evaluation does not guarantee prerequisite clearance.

To register for courses that have prerequisites which you may have completed at an external institution, submit a prerequisite equivalency petition for registration clearance.  

• Prerequisite Equivalency Petition (To be used before a Registration Period)
• Prerequisite Equivalency Petition/Course Registration Combo  (Must include section information and unofficial transcript with your name and institution visible- To be used during Registration Period)

 

All external transcripts must be submitted to process evaluation requests.

On the request form you will need to choose the major and general education pattern you will be pursuing. For out of state, private, and dated coursework, course syllabi may be required.

Transcript Evaluation Request Form

 

 

The standard transcript evaluation process is 8-10 weeks. Processing times may be longer during peak times. The transcript evaluator will make exceptions to the standard processing time for students with urgencies such as deadlines or related student needs. Communication is highly encouraged, via email, to Jessenia Cota - JCota@napavalley.edu 

Once your evaluation request is finalized, you will receive a completed form via DocuSign. Your next step is to follow up with a counselor to review your coursework transferred in. General Counseling
