Requesting Transcripts

Requesting Transcripts

Purpose

You need to complete a Transcript Request Form for each college to which you are applying.  All colleges and universities require an official transcript in order to process an application.

Transcript

• Come to guidance to obtain a Transcript Request Form.  This form is our tracking system and lets us know the colleges to which you are applying and their deadlines.

• You need to complete a request form for each school to which you are applying.  Attached to the request form should be the Secondary School Report/Guidance Form, if applicable.  Almost all colleges require a Secondary School Report or Counselor Form, which lists the senior year classes and the counselor’s recommendation.  If you are under 18, a parent needs to sign the form.

• If your school does not use the Common Application, you need to provide Two Stamped Addressed Business Envelopes with each request form (also affix 2 stamps on each envelope).  The second envelope is used to mail your mid-term report, required by each school.

• The Transcript Request Form needs to be completed TWO WEEKS prior to the application deadline.

Please see the Transcript Request Form and Hints on Addressing the Envelope in the Appendix.
