Evaluation services provide an advisory opinion about what an individual's foreign educational background represents in U.S. terms, for purposes such as employment, professional licensure and further education. Hartnell College does not endorse, recommend or approve any particular evaluation service, and will make the final determination about the transferability of specific courses.
It is the responsibility of the student to provide all required documentation to the Admissions & Records Office. 1. Official foreign transcripts.
2. Official Transcript Evaluation. Transcript evaluations must be completed by a Credential Evaluation Service. Reports MUST include course-by-course reports with semester unit equivalencies and letter grades.
3. Detailed Course Descriptions may be required for you to provide for those courses you hope to transfer, or college catalog in English.
Foreign transcripts cannot be used towards IGETC General Education certification (other than waiving the foreign language requirement).
Foreign transcripts cannot be used towards California State General Education certification.
Foreign transcripts may be used to satisfy university specific requirements: however, this is done on a case-by-case basis at the discretion of the transfer university. Some universities are not able to evaluate your records prior to receiving an application for admission.
In general, English and United States history and government courses taken outside the United States cannot be used towards college credit.
