Transcripts

From 1967 to 1999, Copper Mountain Campus was a branch campus of College of the Desert (COD). Copper Mountain College (CMC) began separation from College of the Desert in 1999 and CMC was accredited by the Western Associate of Schools and Colleges (WASC) in 2001. Students who completed coursework at CMC between 1999 and 2001 were under WASC accreditation given to CMC through COD.

Some unusual transcript situations arose from decisions made when Copper Mountain College separated from the College of the Desert. Under agreements made during the separation process, a few students may have the same coursework recorded at both colleges. Students who began attending CMC in 2001 or later will only have a CMC transcript; attendance both before and after 2001 will usually be fully contained within the CMC transcript.

If you’re calling to verify a student’s education or degree, we only accept written requests accompanied by a release of authorization form. Please fax your request to Janie at 760.366.5257. Allow a 48-hour turnaround time for processing.

If you’re a student needing an enrollment verification letter for benefits, insurance, or other reasons, please submit your request in writing to Admissions & Records with the following information:

• Full Name
• Student ID #
• CMC Email Address 
• Semester you’re requesting enrollment verification
• If you need your GPA
• If you need your anticipated date of graduation

Please allow a 48-hour turnaround time for processing. We will email you at your CMC email when your letter is available for your pick-up.

High School Completion transcripts are NOT processed through Student Services. We do not want to delay your request. Please contact the Student Success Center for your high school completion transcripts at 760.366.3791, ext. 4246.

CMC is unable to verify whether or not a student received their GED through Copper Mountain College. When CMC stopped providing the GED exam, all records were sent to the state GED Records Center. The Educational Testing Services (ETS) – GED Records Center handles all requests for duplicate records in the State of California.

Please contact the GED State Records office at 916.445.9438.

If you are sending official transcripts to CMC, please give the following address to your college/university:
Copper Mountain College
Attn: Transcripts
PO Box 1398
Joshua Tree, CA 92252

If you are sending electronic official transcripts to CMC, please give the following email address to your college/university: officialtranscripts@cmccd.edu

Once official transcripts have been received, if you’ve completed 12 or more units, you may request an official evaluation and acceptance of transfer units by completing a “Request for Evaluation of Credit” form available in Admissions & Records on the Main Campus or at the Base Program office.

Please note that all official transcripts must be on file before an evaluation may be processed.

Once the evaluation is completed, you’ll be notified by email to the CMC campus email address. A follow-up appointment with a counselor is recommended.

This process can take several weeks, please plan accordingly. Students who don’t have a completed evaluation may find it necessary to register in person at either location (Main Campus or Base Programs) and may not be able to register through the MyCMC portal.

Should you have any questions, please contact Admissions and Records at 760.366.3791, ext. 4232.
