New: Seniors - Final Transcripts Deadline
Seniors: Here is a final reminder for any student who is heading to college in the fall must request their final transcript by noon on June 10th to the college, university, or program you will attend. Your college of admission expects that you successfully complete your senior year and will review this transcript. It is important to finish strong.
See the instructions for specific details for how to release your final transcript here.
Please note: Final transcripts cannot be sent until June 28th when your final grades and graduation date are posted from the District Office. Starting June 28th, transcripts will be processed and sent as soon as possible. Colleges typically need 3-5 days to process and add to your file before they see the transcript.
Also, please make sure you have updated your college of enrollment or future plans updated on your senior survey AND the Naviance ‘Colleges’ page ( if a college enrollment). Go to Naviance > Colleges> Colleges I am Applying To > College I am Attending (at the bottom of the page).
We wish you the best, Class of 2021!
