Get your previous college credit evaluated
If you want your previous college credits evaluated for use at Great Falls College, you must provide official transcripts from any previous institutions. Credits from other appropriately-accredited institutions may be accepted as they apply to the established course requirements of Great Falls College. You may also be asked to provide catalog descriptions or course syllabi to help with evaluation.
Note about official transcripts:
- Official college transcripts must be issued directly from the college or university and must be sent directly to Great Falls College.
- An OFFICIAL [paper] transcript is printed on special, watermarked paper. Official paper transcripts are sent in a sealed, signature-stamped envelope.
- An electronic transcript is considered OFFICIAL if the intended party is the direct email recipient. If emailed to the requestor, then forwarded, it is then considered UNOFFICIAL.
- An electronic transcript which is printed then re-scanned in an email is considered UNOFFICIAL.
- Have previous college credits? You can check if your credits will transfer here but if you want those credits evaluated for use at Great Falls College, you need to provide official transcripts.
