<p>IGETC certification depends on your school. For mine, IGETC certification request and transcript request were two entirely different processes. The latter I had to do electronically and the former was a mail-in request. Check with your admissions and records office to learn how they go about this.</p>
<p>It is most likely different at other schools, but my IGETC processing time from request to received was about a week and a half. Transcripts took about that long as well. But I also was making my requests mid school year.</p>
<p>As for when:

<p>So transcripts are not due until after one is accepted and there is still a decent amount of wiggle room in terms of time. Don’t sweat it so much, transcripts are the least of your worries right now :). Just concentrate on your classes this semester/quarter if you’re taking any.</p>
