Attention Seniors: Final High School Transcript Reminder
All colleges require that you send a final transcript with your graduation date before enrolling. You must request to send your final transcript by noon on June 10th to the college, university, or program you will attend in the fall. See the specific instructions for completing your senior survey and releasing your final transcript here on Naviance and MYPAYMENTSPLUS.
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.
