If you attended a college/university in a country outside of the United States, we recommend using a third-party evaluation service to have your transcripts evaluated for equivalency. GWC Counselors can review the official evaluation to advise you as to how coursework can be applied toward your studies here. Once you have the official evaluation, make an appointment to speak with a Counselor.
If you have completed a degree (Associate degree, Baccalaureate degree, etc.) and intend to use coursework toward a degree here at Golden West, have your official transcripts sent to Golden West College. Once you receive confirmation that they have been received, contact Counseling for an official evaluation.
