Transcript Evaluation

If you're transferring to TCC from another accredited school, your evaluation processing will begin automatically once all of the criteria listed below has been completed.

Criteria for transfer evaluation:

  • Must have all official college transcripts from accredited institutions received by TCC
  • Must be registered for a course in the current or a future term, or
    If not registered, at least one of all required official college transcripts must be received by TCC within the immediate prior six months
  • Must have an active program status in an undergraduate program
  • Must not be a transient student
  • Must not be a continuing education-only student

Students with only international transcripts or military credit will be excluded.

Doesn't my transcript need to be evaluated before I can register?

No. Once TCC has received your official transcript, your TSI status may be updated.

If you have taken a prerequisite course elsewhere, a TCC career advisor can assist you with a registration permission or any other questions if you are unable to register online for a desired class.

An evaluation is used to:

  • Provide a consistent method of applying transfer coursework to a TCC degree
  • Assist you in tracking progress toward a degree
  • Support academic advisement
  • Satisfy financial aid and veteran affairs requirements

Am I eligible for a reverse transfer degree?

A reverse transfer degree allows you to combine your community college credits with other college credits you earned after leaving TCC to potentially meet requirements to earn an associate degree.

If you're not currently enrolled at TCC, contact graduation@tccd.edu after sending your transfer school's transcripts to TCC. Include your TCC student ID number (if you know it). We will be happy to review your transfer work from after you left us and see if you qualify for an associate degree from TCC!

International Transcript Evaluations

Post-Secondary College-Level Transcripts

TCC will only consider professional course-by-course evaluations of foreign college work.

Submitting professional transcript evaluations is optional because TCC may not accept the recommendations found on the evaluation report. Credit for courses completed at foreign institutions is unlikely to fulfill specific degree requirements at TCC, especially if studies were not conducted in English.

These evaluations are costly, so we urge students to carefully consider whether they want to have an evaluation prepared for TCC.

Original foreign transcripts are not accepted.

Secondary or High School-Level Transcripts

TCC will only consider professional general evaluations of foreign secondary (high school) work.

Unless you are attending TCC on an F-1 visa, submitting professional transcript evaluations is optional because non-U.S. high school transcripts are not required for enrollment at TCC.

Original foreign transcripts are not accepted.

Who can evaluate your coursework

If you would like your coursework evaluated, visit either of the following options for a TCC-approved evaluation agency:

Where to send the evaluation report

Please request your chosen agency send the evaluation report directly to TCC either by:

  • Email:
    InternationalEvaluations@tccd.edu
  • Postal mail:
    Tarrant County College
    International Student Admissions & Compliance Office
    300 Trinity Campus Circle
    Fort Worth, TX 76102

Transcripts from U.S. Territories and Freely Associated States

Transcripts from institutions based in U.S. territories and freely associated states (FAS) are considered U.S. transcripts.

If an institution in Puerto Rico does not or will not issue your official transcript in English, you will need to provide an official translation.
