I'm planning to transfer to Mesa College in San Diego but I'm not sure about the process to send my transcripts. Can anyone explain how it works, especially if I need to request them online or if there's a mailing address?
To transfer your transcripts to San Diego Mesa College, you'll need to contact the registrar's office at your current or previous institution and request that they send an official transcript to Mesa College. Many colleges have an online request system for transcripts, but if yours doesn't, you may need to send a written request.
If you are currently attending a California Community College, you can electronically send your official transcript through an eTranscript California participant. Typically, in their transcript request process, you'll be allowed to select the recipient institution (in this case, San Diego Mesa College) and provide any necessary details.
If your school isn't capable of providing electronic transcripts, they'll need to mail an official, sealed copy of your transcripts. The address for mailing transcripts to San Diego Mesa College is:
Office of Admissions
San Diego Mesa College
7250 Mesa College Drive
San Diego, CA 92111
For transcripts to be considered official, they need to be sent directly from your current/previous institution to Mesa College. If any transcripts are sent to you and subsequently forwarded, they may not be considered official.
Remember to check with your current school for any fees related to transcript orders and to make requests enough in advance to meet any deadlines San Diego Mesa College might have. It can take some time for your request to be processed and for the transcripts to be sent and then received and processed at Mesa College.
