I asked a counselor and they said just the first page.

How did you edit out the other pages ? I can’t seem to figure out how to delete all of the other pages

Hello everyone. I am a first time applicant, and I am a bit confused. Do we have to submit an actual copy of our AA degree, or is OK to submit official transcripts? I got mine last year over COVID from MJC and never filled out the email to get it mailed to me and it takes 4-6 weeks for delivery. Am I able to submit my HS diploma instead? I almost missed the deadline to apply so I’m a little behind ?

I believe you have to submit the diploma of your latest degree. I don’t have mine on paper either but I emailed Mjc and they sent me a pdf of it. Try contacting them to see if they can send it to you. Let me see if I have the email of the office lady that sent mine to me

Julie Hughes sent me mine. Her email is [email protected] to see if she can send you one before the deadline

I did it last year when the pandemic started and she sent it to me the same day. Maybe an hour after I had called.

Now that we are nearing the last few days of the application, what does everyone's points look like? Just to kind of give us a rough estimate at what were working with.  Good luck to you all.  I ended with 81

Just finished my application and I’m applying with 78. I’m so nervous but hoping to get in by lottery.

I just re-listened to the recording of the March 11 Workshop and Sue Helfgott addressed the issue of the AA/AS degree. (At minute 29:14 if anyone is curious to re-watch) 

She said regarding the area where you upload either an Associates or a High School Diploma or GED that if you chose Associates, “you would use the official Merced college transcript that says AA degree on it and upload it onto that page, then you go to another page and it wants you to upload the pre-requisites and you will upload the transcript again. You may be putting the same document in each time.”

This means you don’t need to get an official diploma of just the Associates degree sent to you via pdf/mail, etc. As long as it’s posted to your Official Transcript and you upload that transcript for the section as proof, you’ll be fine.

hope this helps!

Thank you! So am I safe to put my associates degree on there or do they want the transcript again ?

In the recording she mentioned the Official Transcript, but I’m not positive. For myself, I don’t have a Diploma because my school is very slow on sending them out. I would call Monday morning and see if they will answer which they prefer. Sue Helfgott kept saying you would be uploading the same Official Transcript over and over, which is what I did.
