Transcripts

Official transcripts are sent to colleges directly from high schools, while unofficial transcripts can be given directly to students. Many colleges have online portals where you can request official or unofficial transcripts. Colleges almost always ask for official transcripts because they want to make sure the information on the transcript hasn’t been changed; however, some colleges allow students to self report their high school grades during the application process.

1. Choose your request method. If you are not using the Common App to apply to a college, you can request a transcript in Xello. 

2. Access Xello in your Class Link account. 

3. Select your college.

   • From your Dashboard, under "Goals and Plans," click "College Planning."

   • Under "College Applications," select the college you'd like to send your transcript to, or click "View My Applications" to see the full list. If you don't have any application for that college yet, click "Create New Application."

   • Follow the steps and select an application method and admission type.

4. Edit due date.

   • Under the college's Application Checklist, you will find transcripts listed. 

   • Next to the "Request" button, select the "Options" menu. 

   • Select "Edit Due Date" from that list.

   • Enter the date you need to send your transcript by. It's a good idea to set a due date that occurs before the application deadline. This will help ensure that it is sent on time!

5. Send your transcript request.

   • To send your transcript request, click on the "Request" button. 

   • A success banner at the top of your screen will let you know that your transcript request has been sent to your high school. Your high school registrars will send your transcript to the college on your behalf.

1. Fill out the Unofficial Transcript Request Form.

2. If you have not received your unofficial transcript after a few days, email your Registrar letting them know that you’ve put a request in and still have not received one (see Directory on the Home page).

You MUST use your school email.
