Network Delivery
College of the Desert has partnered with Parchment and National Student Clearinghouse Electronic Transcript Exchange (ETX) as our trusted agents for processing incoming OFFICIAL electronic academic transcripts. At this time College of the Desert does accept paper transcripts delivered via First Class U.S. Postal Mail; however, our preferred method of receipt is via electronic PDF file delivery. You will need to check with your sending university or institution to verify that they are able to send electronic PDF transcripts to other instructions like College of the Desert.
