Credits will only be posted at SDSU after your official transcript is mailed by your host institution or study abroad program. The amount of time before a transcript is mailed varies widely between countries, host institutions and programs. It could be several weeks to several months after your return to SDSU that a transcript is mailed. Therefore, you should follow-up with your host coordinator to ensure a transcript is mailed and your credits posted at SDSU prior to your application for graduation.
If you plan to graduate within 1 semester of completing your study abroad program, then you should inform your academic advisor(s) and determine the best course of action. It is generally recommended students have at least 1 full semester upon their return to SDSU prior to graduation.
All study abroad transcripts must be mailed directly to the SDSU Enrollment Services Transcript Unit at the address below:
San Diego State University Enrollment Services Transcript Unit 5500 Campanile Drive San Diego, CA 92182-7455
