When applying to colleges and scholarships, you will be asked to send an unofficial or official transcript.  An official transcript is sent directly from the high school to the college or scholarship organization. Official transcripts are sealed and can be mailed OR uploaded to an online application or scholarship portal. An unofficial transcript can also be sent to a student or parent and Kapolei High School (KHS) will still need a transcript request form to be completed.  Some colleges and scholarships will allow a student to use an unofficial transcript as part of the student's application. If you are not sure which transcript to request, please check with the admissions office, scholarship organization, and/or Mr. Okoji.   You can obtain an unofficial transcript from ANY counselor, including your Academy Counselor.

Kapolei High School WILL NOT release a transcript to any coach or college unless a signed Transcript Request Form is completed by the student/parent. However, students/parents can request an unofficial transcript for themselves and share this on their own with these respective officials.  See your School Counselor or stop by the Registrar's Office or College & Career Center to pick up a copy of your unofficial transcript.

Early College (EC) & Running Start (RS) are considered dual credit courses. This means the grades and credits you earn will go on your college AND your high school transcript.  For example, if you took English 100 at Leeward Community College (LCC) and earned a B grade, this will be reflected on both transcripts at LCC & Kapolei High School (KHS). At LCC, you will earn 3.0 college credits and your B grade will be factored into your college GPA. At KHS, you will earn 1.0 credit and your B grade will be factored into your high school GPA.  

If you are applying to a college and are asked to verify your EC/RS courses, you can self-report these courses on the application portal OR use a high school transcript.  This should be sufficient for your application. However, some schools may ask you to submit a transcript directly from the college you took the course from. If this is the case, then you will need to submit a transcript from the college you took your EC/RS course from to the college you are applying to.  The majority of KHS's students take EC/RS courses from these schools and here are the links to request your college transcript:

Leeward Community College: http://www.leeward.hawaii.edu/transcript-request

UH West Oahu:  https://westoahu.hawaii.edu/transcripts/

Please check with the admissions office that you are applying to before you request a college transcript to be sent. There is a fee to send a college transcript.  

If you take an EC/RS course at a UH System School (e.g. LCC, UH West Oahu, UH Manoa, UH Hilo, Honolulu/Kapiolani/Windward Community College, etc.) and then enroll as a full time student after you graduate, you do not need to submit a form to transfer your college credit.  All UH System schools will automatically have access to your EC/RS credit/grades.  However, if you enroll at a school outside of the UH System (e.g. Chaminade University, Hawaii Pacific University, mainland schools, etc.), then you will need to submit a transcript request form from the college you took your EC/RS course from to your new school.

If you are a senior applying to college in the fall semester, you will submit a 6th semester transcript as part of your application. A 6th semester transcript includes all your courses/grades from Freshman year to the end of your Junior year.  Your current cumulative grade point average and rank will be listed on your transcript and you may use this to answer some questions on your application.  Due to Covid-19 a number of colleges are going test optional and not requiring the SAT/ACT.  These colleges will be looking at a number of other factors such as what kind of courses you previously took and are currently enrolled in. It might be to your advantage to send your Senior Year Schedule and/or your current report card (if applicable at the time of your application) to your colleges. Colleges will be closely scrutinizing your transcripts to look at core course grades, Early College/Running Start/AP courses taken/enrolled in, number of years a student took a course (e.g. Foreign Language for two years, MJROTC for four years, Marching Band/AVID for three years, Ceramics, etc.). Report card grades are usually available about two weeks after a quarter has ended.

Your 7th semester transcript includes your grades and courses from the 1st semester (Quarter 1 + 2) of your senior year.  If you are applying to a college in January, you will need to send your 7th semester transcript.
