Send Your Official Transcript
To have your previously earned college credits evaluated for transfer credit at Hawkeye, we require an official transcript from each college or institution you have attended. Please send these directly to the Admissions office.
Transcripts are considered official only when sent directly from the issuing institution or from an approved, secure third-party agency, such as the National Student Clearinghouse. Hand-delivered transcripts, even in a sealed envelope, will not be accepted as official.
If your official transcripts were submitted since 2008, they should already be on file with the College. Contact the Admissions office if you have any questions regarding previously submitted transcripts or assessment scores.
Evaluating Your Transcript
Hawkeye will evaluate your credits according to the major or degree you choose. Only the courses required for that major or degree will be transferred, provided the transfer course meets the minimum grade requirement.
If it is determined that the courses you completed are similar in content to a required course in one of Hawkeye’s technical degrees, your transcript will be sent to the relevant academic department at Hawkeye for evaluation. The department will then decide whether or not to accept the credit for your major or degree.
The length of time to prepare a transfer evaluation varies. If your transfer credits are from a college located in another state or if your credits are not recent, it may take longer to evaluate your transcript.
Please allow up to four weeks from the time the official transcript arrives at Hawkeye's Admissions office for evaluation.
International diplomas and transcripts will be evaluated by the International Student Admissions team. See Foreign Diploma and Transcript Evaluation.
