Complete the following form and submit your unofficial college transcript(s) for an unofficial transcript evaluation!* Any student considering CBU can leverage this resource, even if they have not yet been accepted to the university, by following this simple, three-step process:
- Complete the following form, filling out all the requested information and attaching your unofficial college transcript(s).
- Our University Registrar will review your transcript(s), perform an evaluation and notify your admissions counselor once it is completed.
- Your admissions counselor will contact you via email with your unofficial evaluation within 5 business days. You will then have the opportunity to meet with your admissions counselor and review the evaluation to better understand your degree progress and when it’s best to transfer.
*This evaluation is unofficial. If you wish to see your transcripts officially evaluated, please apply to CBU and wait for an admission decision.
Check out CBU's Articulation Agreements with select California community colleges to review general education equivalencies and pre-nursing prerequisite courses.
- Access Transferology, an online tool that allows you to see which courses transfer to CBU. Follow the steps by creating an account or logging into your account, enter the college/university courses you completed and click "search for matches" to see how your courses transfer to CBU.
- Please note this is not an exhaustive list of courses that transfer to CBU, we are always updating it with new equivalencies! If you see that your courses do not transfer or would like them further reviewed, select the "Request Information" button on the CBU profile to send your course report to us. Your admissions counselor will connect with you once a review has been completed.
- If you have already selected a major to pursue at CBU, you can reference these Major Planning Guides which lay out the general education and degree requirements for each academic program.
- Along with the Articulation Agreements or Transferology, you can then use the Major Planning Guides to see how your transferrable courses apply to your major.
- An associate degree is not required to transfer to CBU.
- Individuals transferring to CBU with an associate degree and either IGETC and CSU General Education Breadth Certification prior to transfer are waived from general education requirements with the exception of the biblical and theological core and English composition (ENG 113 & 123) courses.
