  3. College Transcripts -  If you have attended other colleges or universities you must submit an official transcript from each college or university attended. A transcript is official only when it arrives in the mail directly from the registrar's office of the previous institution. This is required even if you do not wish to have your previous course work evaluated or transferred to Southwestern. When requesting transcripts, please utilize the following SWCC addresses:

    Admissions Office
    Southwestern Community College

  4. Entrance Tests-In recognition of the varying skill levels of entering students, Southwestern Community College uses the ACCUPLACER test, ACT, or high school transcripts as placement guides, which enable advisors to better advise students with course selection and scheduling. High school transcripts and/or test scores must be on file with admissions prior to registration.
  5. Other - Completion of any other program or course prerequisites for the specific program for which application has been made.
