About Transcript Types:
Unofficial transcripts can be easily printed for students and/or parents for personal use and remain unsigned. Parents of current students can print unofficial transcripts through their Infinite Campus Portal. It is listed under "reports." (this is what you use to see what you have completed - you can print for yourself at any time)
Official transcripts are those typically requested by 4-year colleges, community colleges, scholarship organizations, NCAA, and possibly other institutions. An official transcript will be signed by our registrar and properly sealed or sent directly through Naviance. For college application purposes, ALL transcripts will be sent using Naviance.
For official transcripts, there are several different transcript types that vary by when they are needed during the application process.
Initial transcripts are transcripts needed at the time of application. Please note that UC/CSU do NOT want initial transcripts. You will self-report your grades in the application.
Mid year transcripts are sent after first semester grades are published. Colleges are aware that the availability of these will vary by high school, so do not stress about the college's deadline and know that if you have requested them, they will be sent as soon as they are available.
Final transcripts only need to be sent to the college where you have accepted their offer of admission (aka where you are attending!)
