Your transcript is a record of your academic performance throughout high school and includes your grades, classes, and overall GPA...making it one of the most important factors in college admissions decisions, if not the most important. Your school counselor will submit your transcript, along with our school profile, to colleges on your behalf.

What is a Self-Reported Academic Record (SRAR)
What is a Self-Reported Academic Record (SRAR)
To expedite your application faster, some colleges will request you to self-report your transcript. You will not need to request your official transcript to be initially sent to colleges, however, if you plan to enroll, then you will need to do so via the “College Application Materials Request Form.”
It is important that students report grades exactly as they appear on your high school transcript. If the SRAR is deemed inaccurate, the university may cancel admission, regardless of whether the inaccuracy was intentional or accidental. We suggest that you have a copy of your high school transcript on hand when completing this task.
*If you need an UNOFFICIAL copy of your transcript, you can access via SchooLinks. Go to "School" and select "Record Requests."
Popular universities that utilize SRAR: University of Illinois-Urbana, University of Iowa, University of Minnesota, and Illinois State University.
