TRANSCRIPT- FAQ

Transcripts are not required in order to enroll in the Los Angeles Community College District. However, transcripts of other schools you have attended are required for certain petitions and will be notated on the petition if it is required. Delay in submitting official transcripts can result in the delay of processing and/or the automatic denial of the petition.

In order to receive credit for similar courses taken at colleges outside the LACCD, students will need to submit a Petition for Credit form. Along with the Petition for Credit form, students will need to provide their own copies of course descriptions and unofficial copies of their transcripts.

  • ​For more information about the process, students may speak to a Counselor.
  • ** Please note that not all courses will need to be petitioned, it is strongly recommended that you speak with a counselor about transferring coursework to LAHC. Similar coursework from an out-of-state college/university will have to be petitioned.  Please see a counselor for advisement. **​
