If your counselor submitted your School Report and your schools have not received your transcript, confirm you have linked SchooLinks and Common App. See this video for instructions.

Initial Transcript: Includes all courses and grades completed at the time you apply. For students applying during the fall of senior year, this typically includes grades through the end of junior year.

Midyear Transcript: Includes your first-semester senior-year grades. Some colleges require this as part of the application review process.

Final Transcript: Includes all senior-year grades, your graduation date and confirmation that you completed high school. Seniors must send a final transcript to the college they plan to attend.

Unofficial Transcript: A copy that students can download and submit themselves. Because it is not sent directly by a school official, it may be accepted for scholarships or certain admission purposes but does not replace an official transcript when one is required.

Your counselor will send your official initial transcript after you:

• Create your Common App account

• Link your Common App account to SchooLinks

• Add colleges to your application list

You do not need to submit a separate transcript request or e-mail.

Use SchooLinks to request an official transcript for a scholarship, the NCAA or another outside organization.

• Log in to SchooLinks using your school Google account

• Select Student

• Select Record Requests

• Choose Send Official Transcript

• Enter the recipient’s information and indicate whether the transcript should be sent by email or mail

Some colleges may request a quarter-grade report. Because quarter grades are progress grades rather than official transcript grades, Prospect cannot send them directly.

Students can download and submit a PDF copy through Infinite Campus:

• Log in to Infinite Campus

• Select Documents from the left-hand menu

• Locate the Report Card section

• Select and download the appropriate quarter-grade report

• Follow the college’s instructions for submitting the PDF

Some colleges require a midyear report, midyear transcript or seventh-semester grades as part of the application process.

• Review the detailed midyear report instructions

• All required midyear reports will be sent automatically by counselors through SchooLinks after first-semester grades are finalized by the district, typically in mid-January

• If a midyear report is optional but you would still like one sent, complete the Optional Midyear Report Request Form

• If you are unsure whether a college requires a midyear transcript, review your applicant portal or contact the college’s admissions office.

Midyear reports are most commonly requested by colleges that have not yet released an admission decision.

The college you plan to attend will require a final transcript showing your senior-year grades, graduation date and confirmation that you completed high school.

Near the end of the school year, you will complete an application update in SchooLinks and indicate which college you plan to attend. Your counselor will automatically send your final transcript to that college through SchooLinks after graduation and once final grades are available.

You do not need to submit a separate final transcript request. We will complete this process together during the final Senior Core lesson in April.
