Coursework Evaluation

Thank you for your interest in having SFSU evaluate your mathematics coursework.

If you want to have your existing undergraduate coursework evaluated for fulfilling math competency equivalent to a single-subject waiver program, please follow these steps:

  1. If you are (a) a current SFSU student or (b) applying for the SFSU credential program, there is no fee. Otherwise, there is an evaluation fee of $100 that should be paid by sending a check payable to SFSU, to

    • Transcript Evaluation
      Mathematics Department
      1600 Holloway Ave
      San Francisco, CA 94132

    • Write “transcript evaluation” in the check comment field.

  2. E-mail the following documents to statmath@sfsu.edu:
    • Download the form Coursework List, and fill out a proposed course by course equivalence between your coursework and the 45-unit SFSU waiver program. For course details visit https://math.sfsu.edu/courses. We are allowed to use some judgment, so please list separately at the end any other math courses you’ve passed that have no precise SFSU equivalent.
    • Provide an electronic copy of a unofficial transcript with final grades for the courses you list.
    • Provide official course descriptions for any non-SFSU courses you list. A web link to an official university course description site is sufficient, if it tells us what was actually covered in the courses taken.
  3. If everything is in order, I will email you a signed form. This may be enough documentation for your purposes. If you want an official letter, you will need to contact our credential office and they may charge a small fee for a certificate ($25 as of 2020).

We hope to finish evaluations in a timely way, but it may take up to a month or longer from receipt of your materials and evaluation fee. You can email erichsu@sfsu.edu with further questions.
