Transcript Request Procedures
It is important to remember that students do not apply to college through Naviance. Naviance is used for students to request and for the school to send transcripts, letters of recommendation, academic profiles, and other school reports.
All transcript requests for college applications must be processed through Naviance. To request a transcript students should complete the following three steps.
- Add the college to the list of 'colleges I am applying to' in Naviance.
- Confirm you have applied
- Request the transcript
After the transcript request is made, the transcript will be sent to the college electronically within five school days. The student or parent can log in to Naviance to check the status of the transcript request. This instruction sheet explains the process in greater detail. https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BwmE0LU9jQ56UWVWb25Hc1JuQkE/view?usp=sharing
Students who are applying to an institution through the Common Application will have to complete the one time process of 'matching' their Common Application to their Naviance account before school documents can be sent. The video below and the following instruction sheet will explain the one -time process. https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BwmE0LU9jQ56bHZ1QkNEQTdNV2s/view?usp=sharing
