I'm trying to transfer from SDSU to a different college and need to send my transcript. What is the best way to do this efficiently and ensure it reaches the new school on time? Any tips are welcome!
Transferring your transcript from San Diego State University (SDSU) to another college is a fairly simple process that you can usually take care of online. Here's a step-by-step guide on how you can do this:
1. Login to your WebPortal account: Access your WebPortal, which is SDSU's online student portal. From there, you can request your official transcript.
2. Request your transcript: Look for the option to request an official transcript. SDSU paired with Parchment for online transcript orders, so you will probably be redirected to the Parchment site to make your request.
3. Specify where to send it: When making your request, you should have the ability to specify the institution you would like your transcript sent to. Make sure you have the correct address or electronic exchange (email address or fax number) for the admissions office at the other college. If your future university accepts electronic transcripts, this is the fastest and most efficient way to send your transcript.
4. Pay the fee: There is usually a fee associated with this process, so be prepared to pay it online at the time you make your request. The cost can vary, but it is typically around $10.
5. Order Confirmation: After your order is submitted, you should receive email confirmations regarding the status of your transcript. You’ll know when it's been sent, and when the new college has received it.
Remember to make your request well ahead of any application deadlines at your new school to ensure it arrives on time. Note that SDSU says that it may take 5-7 business days for them to process the request, so it's essential to plan accordingly.
In case any issues arise, you can reach out to the SDSU Registrar's Office for more assistance. They are there to help and can guide you through the process if you are having any difficulty.
