Have you attended another college or university?
Columbia Basin College accepts successfully completed coursework from regionally accredited institutions via official transcripts. If you've attended another college or university, we are happy to evaluate your transcripts and transfer in eligible courses.
If you're only planning to attend CBC for one quarter, there's no need to have your credits transfered. Unofficial transcripts can be used for registration purposes.
CBC also accepts credentials from foreign countries. If you've attended a college or university in a foreign country, we are happy to evaluate your transcripts and transfer in eligible courses. If your transcripts are in a language other than English, we will need them to be translated into English and evaluated on a course-by-course basis by a NACES member certified translation agency.
