• Students are responsible for sending colleges and universities their own SAT and AP exam scores directly from their College Board account. These scores do not appear on your high school transcript and counselors cannot send them for you.

• If you have taken or are taking a dual credit / college course, students are responsible for contacting the university that course is associated with to have their credits transferred to the college at which they plan to enroll in after graduation. For example, if a student takes NU Statistics, that student would need to request their transcript from Niagara University to be sent to the college they plan on attending after graduation to have those credits transferred.
