The final official transcript process is different than in past years. This process only applies to the final high school transcript. If you attended ACC or Elon for dual enrollment, and you need those transcripts sent to another institution, you must follow their final transcript process. For the high school transcript, students staying in North Carolina must use their CFNC account to avoid delays (or we will send through Common App if that was the initial platform used). Log into your CFNC account here.

For students who are attending a post-secondary institution in North Carolina, and who have previously requested an initial/unofficial transcript be sent through CFNC, their final transcript will automatically be sent on Monday, June 24th. If you used Common App, your final transcript will be sent by June 24th.

For students staying in NC for post-secondary who have not requested their transcript be sent through CFNC previously (and did not use Common App), then they need to make that request as soon as possible so that their final transcript will also be sent automatically on Monday, June 24th. 

For students who are attending a postsecondary institution outside of North Carolina (out of state), their transcript will be sent via mail using the institution indicated on the Senior Exit Survey. 

If you have followed the proper process aforementioned, then please allow the post-secondary institutions up to two weeks to process the transcripts. You may still receive emails after the transcript has been sent because the institution has not processed it yet; thus, please do not contact student services about a final transcript not being received until July 10th or after. The only reason you should contact beforehand about a transcript not being received is if you have changed plans or did not follow the proper process.
