Evaluation of Foreign Transcripts
If you have college transcripts from outside of the United States you must have them translated if you want to use any of the credits for any purposes at MiraCosta College. Please see our Evaluation of Foreign Transcripts guide.

Paper transcripts will take approximately 2 weeks due to Covid-19. Please order transcripts electronically using Option 1 above.

  • A student's authorizing signature is required on either an official transcript request form or in a letter in order to release a transcript.
  • Transcripts will be mailed only, no pick up. 
  • College credit from MiraCosta only will show on your transcript. We do not include copies of transcripts from other institutions.
  • All credits from MiraCosta will show on your transcript, which will also include any work in progress. We will not issue partial transcripts.

IGETC and CSU/GE CERTIFICATION, if needed can be requested by filling out the Certification Request Form.

Indicate on the request form or in your letter:

  • If you would like American Institutions certified
  • If you have a grade change pending
  • If you have repeated any classes and want to ascertain that your transcript has been updated

If you would like current semester grades on the transcript, you can request this transcript 3 weeks before the end of the semester. For short term classes that ended mid-semester, transcripts are not available until after the end of semester grade posting. Be sure you indicate this on the transcript request form or in your letter. You will need to allow at least 4-6 weeks from the end of the semester before grades will be posted for transcript processing.

Transcripts requests using our online process generate either an electronic transmission or a paper transcript. Both methods are official transcripts. Whenever possible, MiraCosta College will submit the transcript to the receiving institution electronically. At the time of the online transcript request, students will be able to determine whether or not the transcript can be submitted electronically.

If you have additional questions about transcripts, feel free to email us at transcripts@miracosta.edu.
