Transcript Requests
Transcripts Request
Current GHHS students may request transcripts at any time. Recently graduated seniors may request transcripts until the new school year starts. If you are a GHHS alumni you must submit a request for an official transcript through the Apple Valley Unified School District Transcript Office.
Official vs Unofficial Transcripts
Official transcripts are a certified document of a student's academic record. It is stamped, signed, and sealed in an envelope and usually mailed directly to a college or university requesting the record. Students may also request to mail or deliver their transcripts personally. In which case the transcripts will be sealed in an envelope and given to the student. A student must not open the the envelope in order to maintain the official certification.
Unofficial transcripts are a non certified document of a student's academic record. It is not stamped, signed or sealed. An unofficial transcript may be printed out for student pick-up or emailed to the requesting outside college, institution, or agency upon the student's request. Unofficial transcripts will not be mailed by the College and Career Center.
Transcripts for College Admissions
Transcripts for college admission are always official. Before completing a transcript request for college admission please confirm with the college/university admissions office if transcript is necessary for application submission. Some schools, like all California UCs Only require final transcripts. For this reason no transcripts request for a California UC will be processed until after graduation date. Some schools require the preliminary transcript, also known as the 7th semester grades transcripts. This is a transcript that reflects the grades received for the 1st semester of the senior year. Most California CSUs require preliminary transcripts for admission applications.
In order to reduce processing request for unneeded information, or multiple request for the same information, as well as to cut cost of postage please conform with your college/university of choice the proper transcript needed to accompany your admissions application.
