In order for your credits from non-CIAT institutions to be applied to your official CIAT record, you will need to have all official transcripts sent directly from those institution(s) to CIAT.
Please note: Only transcripts sent directly from the other school to CIAT will be considered official.
Unofficial transcripts that you may have sent during the enrollment period cannot be applied to your official CIAT record.
You may have official transcripts sent via mail or online using a secure vendor. For electronic transcripts, please order them to be sent to records@ciat.edu. For hard copy official transcripts, please mail them to:
ATTN: Records Department
401 Mile of Cars Way, Suite 100, National City, CA 91950
We suggest sending your transcripts through an approved electronic vendor such as Parchment or National Student Clearinghouse to expedite the process. Keep in mind that electronic transcripts must be sent directly from the issuing institution. Also, note that hard copy official transcripts must be delivered sealed inside the original envelope. Transcripts issued to the student, faxed, or sent as an email attachment are not acceptable official documents.
