Prior to registration, all students must submit official (sealed) copies of all high school and college transcripts to the Cuesta College Records Office, P.O. Box 8106, San Luis Obispo CA 93403-8106. Final transcripts should be submitted once all coursework is completed and grades are posted. To request transcripts from other schools use this form: http://academic.cuesta.edu/admrreg/trother.pdf.

Official transcripts are required to clear course prerequisites, Student Education Plans, GE Certifications, and all program evaluations at Cuesta College. If coursework was completed at a private institution or a college outside of the State of California, the student may be asked to provide a copy of the course description of the catalog of the college. In addition to clearing prerequisites, official transcripts are also required for Student Education Plans, GE Certifications, and all program evaluations. Transcripts submitted to Cuesta College will not be released to students, other colleges, or agencies.

Please allow at least 3 weeks for official transcripts to be received at Cuesta and prerequisites cleared prior to registering for courses with prerequisites. Official transcripts may also be hand-carried by the student to a walk-in counselor to have prerequisites cleared. Students may register for all other courses and add courses later that are pending prerequisite clearance. As of Spring 2004, unofficial (unsealed) or faxed transcripts will not be accepted to clear prerequisites.
