Seniors - Year-End Transcript Request
When your senior has been accepted and made the decision where to attend college, the student must send the college a year-end final transcript. This transcript will include the graduation date, as well as all final courses taken during the second semester of senior year. Failure to send a year-end final transcript can delay being able to schedule college classes. Senior year-end final transcripts will be mailed to the colleges at the beginning of June by the Counseling Department. All seniors who will be attending college, technical school, or joining the military will need to request a year-end final transcript be sent to their institutions.
There is a $5.00 fee for each official transcript request that MUST be paid at the time of the request.
Senior families may order year-end final transcripts through MyPaymentsPlus starting April 12, 2021 - May 21, 2021.
