A question about transcripts....

<p>Hi,</p>

<p>I got accepted to UCLA recently, and they say they want my transcripts through Fall 2013 to be sent to them and received by June 1st and final transcripts with spring 2014 coursework received by July 15.</p>

<p>This might be a dumb question, but I don't really know how to go about this. I know where to get transcripts and all, but do I have to order them online and then receive them, then mail them to UCLA or do I have my community college mail my transcripts to UCLA?</p>

<p>Sorry that this sounds strange, but I have no clue what to do here lol</p>

<p>I think you usually have the community college send the transcripts themselves.
Btw, congrats :)</p>

<p>SMC is kinda lame in that, other schools will allow you to fill out the application online AND receive your two free copies online, to get your free copies, you have to fill out the paperwork in person. You can file out paperwork, at the admissions complex (near the construction) and they’ll send your SMC transcript to UCLA.</p>

<p>Thanks, guys!</p>

<p>@cayton when you order them online it gives you the option to choose the recipient. Just choose ucla undergrad admissions, the address is already there. </p>

<p>Thanks a lot!</p>

<p>oh, and congrats on getting in yourself, @Freetofly112‌. I hope to see you at UCLA this fall.</p>

<p>@bomerr I didn’t even know you could get a free one. Thanks! </p>

<p>I believe you get two free trasncripts from every CC you attend; might be a state law. </p>

<p>It’s kinda lame that SMC doesn’t allow free copies online because I just sent e-transcripts to USC. </p>

Yeah. Hopefully I can change from Psych to Philosophy without a hitch. I emailed them asking about this but they havent gotten back to me yet</p>

<p>@Freetofly112‌ </p>

<p>You’ve completed the pre-reqs for philosophy, so it should be a simple matter of filing the paperwork with the philosophy department or whoever handles the changing of one’s major to philosophy. Philosophy isn’t impacted at all, so it should be easy.</p>

<p>Why would you switch from Psych to Phil? I mean, you fought with the devil himself to get into Psych. </p>

<p>I’m not one to talk though since I’m considering changing from Phil to Egyptology, and anyone could ask me the same…</p>

12

<p>@Cayton Sounds easy enough. Have you gotten your financial award letter yet? Mine is still pending.</p>

<p>@Burntcorpse I know right? Heh. The original plan was to double major, but I’m just slowly becoming disillusioned with Psychology. I don’t enjoy it as much as I do Philosophy.</p>

<p>@freetofly112</p>

<p>Why don’t you take phil courses your first quarter, and if you like it, you can permanently switch. This means you can fall back on Psych just in case…</p>

<p>Im planning on doing just that, but with nelc/egyptology</p>

<p>@Freetofly112‌ </p>

<p>Yeah, I have. Pretty generous but that’s because I’m poor. :P</p>

15

<p>@BurntCorpse thats a good idea, actually.</p>

<p>@Cayton Hah, yeah I’m not expecting anything crazy. The wells run dry for my middle class background.</p>

<p>@Freetofly112‌ </p>

<p>The good thing is that going to community college will have saved you a lot of money, so you’d be financially better off than if you went to UCLA straight out of high school.</p>

<p>And the amount of debt incurred at UCLA is a lot lower than the average across the country. I hope that’s a little comforting. :)</p>

<p>@Cayton Yep. I’ve actually been getting paid to go to CC, thanks to merit scholarships and the BOG waiver. It’s been nice.</p>
