COMMON APP + PARCHMENT
Counselors will be uploading your Amador Valley High School transcript to your Common App. Do not send your transcript to Common App.
If you took an outside of PUSD course, you'll need to send that transcript to each school you are applying to through Parchment (and not to Common App!)
Outside course transcripts are considered official if they are received directly from the outside institution via Parchment.
You'll have to do this even if the course is added to your Amador Valley High School transcript.
For example, if you had taken two outside courses from two different outside institutions and are applying to 10 Common App schools, you'll need to send each transcript to each school which means thats 20 Parchment orders!
Sending your transcript to Common App will bump out your already uploaded Amador Valley High School transcript.
