Transcript Tambola: Sending Your Past Grades on a Wild Ride to Fresno State (Without Actually Going Wild)
Hey there, future Fresno State Bulldogs! Transcript time is upon us, and let's face it, transcripts can be a real drag. But fear not, because this guide is here to turn that frown upside down (and get those transcripts sent smoothly).
How To Send Transcripts To Fresno State |
The Two Transcript-Tastic Options:
Fresno State, bless their tech-savvy hearts, offers a couple of ways to send your transcripts. Let's break it down, shall we?
Reminder: Focus on key sentences in each paragraph.
The E-Transcript Express: This is the speedy Gonzales of transcript delivery. Many schools are on board with the e-transcript system, so if yours is one of the chosen ones, this is the route for you. Just ask your school counselor or registrar to send those grades electronically to imaging@csufresno.edu. Easy peasy!
The Old-School Mail Stampede: For those institutions clinging to the ways of the past (carrier pigeons, anyone?), there's the good ol' fashioned mail option. Here's where you dust off your finest penmanship and address your transcript to:
Graduate Admissions Office (if you're a grad student, fancy pants!)ORAdmissions Office (for us undergrads)5150 North Maple, JA 57Fresno, CA 93740-8026
Pro Tip: Make sure those transcripts are official and sealed. Fresno State won't accept anything less than the real deal!

QuickTip: Pay close attention to transitions.
Don't be a Snail Mail Slacker: Transcripts take time to travel, especially if they're on a scenic detour via Siberia. Get those babies moving early, especially if you're applying close to a deadline.
Electronic Epiphanies: Double (or triple) check that your transcript request went through electronically. Tech glitches happen, so a quick follow-up email is your friend.
The Frantic Follow-Up: If time is ticking and your transcripts seem to be on a permanent vacation, don't hesitate to contact the admissions office. A friendly inquiry can go a long way (and calm your nerves!).
