Midyear Transcript
Transcripts *test scores are handled by Mrs. Conners
*Midyear transcripts will be ready at the end of January.
You MUST request transcripts through Naviance. You may NOT request transcripts in person, through email, or any other way from me. Please do not ask Mrs. Besa or Mrs. Conners to send transcripts either. The following explains how to do this...
Go to “Colleges you are thinking about” and add the colleges you wish (if you have not done this already).
You will click the boxes to the left of the college name of the ones you want to transfer into colleges you are applying to. You will click on the top, middle link that says “Move to application list”.
Once on the colleges I am applying to page, you will click the boxes you would like transcripts for and then go up to the right-hand, top and click on “Request transcripts”.
That will take you to a page where you choose if you want “initial” or “final”. At this stage of the year, you want initial.
Parents, Juniors and Sophomores
Below is a link to a webinar I watched about how to attack college applications. It is given by two Harvard graduates. It is dead on!
I can't emphasize enough how informative this will be.
Please consider taking a look - this is all research based on actual universities and application processes.
