Parents of Seniors Attending Post-Secondary Institutions:
Most 2 year and 4 year colleges require a FINAL transcript to be mailed to the college once grades for T3 of senior year have been posted. This transcript can be ordered NOW so that it is not forgotten in the busy upcoming weeks/months at the Parchment Website. Once logged in, students will need to confirm the destination and delivery details then students choose send now or hold for grades. Selecting hold for grades means the transcript is sent out as soon as grades are posted for T3.
Submit AP test scores to the college- must be ordered from College Board if not listed during AP test registration.
Submit final college transcript if the student took college classes (CIS classes through the U of MN or PSEO classes). These transcripts are ordered through the College itself.
Seniors playing D1 or D2 College Athletics in the fall must submit a final transcript via Parchment to the NCAA in order to complete the eligibility process.
