 Transcript Evaluation
 If you have attended another college or university, you may request an official evaluation of those credits toward a certificate or degree. You will need this form.
In an effort to accurately inform students of how their transfer credits relate to their program, we evaluate each student's transcript(s) toward the degree or certificate they have designated on their evaluation request form.
It is the intention of our office to evaluate these credits as accurately as possible. However, your assistance is needed to complete this process.
Please review your evaluation form before submitting.

An Edmonds Community College student may earn a combination of certificates, Associate of Technical Arts degrees, Associate of Science degree, and Associate of Arts degree (Transfer).
Students are limited to only one Associate of Arts degree, whether it be the AAUD-DTA (Direct Transfer Agreement) or an Associate of Arts in Business. This is due to the fact that the title of these degrees will appear on both the EdCC transcript and the diploma as “Associate of Arts”.
Associate of Science:
An Edmonds Community College student may earn a combination of certificates, Associate of Technical Arts degrees, Associate of Science degree, and Associate of Arts degree (Transfer). Students are limited to only one Associate of Science degree. Although the various AS degrees will appear differently on the EdCC transcript, all of the diplomas will read “Associate of Science”.
Associate of Arts:
An Edmonds Community College student may earn a combination of certificates, Associate of Technical Arts degrees, Associate of Science degree, and Associate of Arts degree (Transfer).

This is due to the fact that the title of these degrees will appear on both the EdCC transcript and the diploma as “Associate of Arts”.

 COURSE REPEAT REQUEST
 
 
 Students, who need or want to improve their GPA may repeat courses whenever the college offers them as indicated in the quarterly class schedule. Once a student successfully repeats a course with an improved grade, the student may ask that previous grades earned for that same course be removed from the transcript GPA (grade point average) calculation by submitting a Course Repeat form (available in Enrollment Services). Please note the following:
    Course criteria:
  • The most recent grade earned must be higher than any previous time the course was taken;
  • Courses with letter grades of W, V, I, N, U, X, or S, are excluded, because these grades do not affect the GPA (grade point average) calculation; and
  • Courses must have the exact name and course number as previously listed on the transcript (except courses designated with the “&” symbol, or other courses, which were changed to accommodate Washington state’s Common Course Numbering system).
Grade Change Request
 
 
 Instructors, who need or want to change a student’s grade may do so by completing the electronic request through the GATE system. A grade change request submitted requesting an I (Incomplete) grade older than one 12 months to be changed, will be electronically sent to the Dean’s office for approval. A grade change request submitted requesting a change involving a “V” (Instructor Initiated Withdrawl) grade will be electronically sent to the Dean for approval.
