Class of 2021
Information Needed to Transition Beyond High School
5.27.2021
FINAL TRANSCRIPT
Final Transcripts
For those seniors who had completed all the graduation requirements by May 21, 2021, and had indicated their college choice, a final transcript has been sent to their college with final grades, final high school cumulative grade point average (GPA) and proof of graduation. For those seniors who will finish this summer, after they have met the graduation requirements, a final transcript will be prepared and ready to be sent to the destination they indicated in the Senior Final Transcript survey, or they can complete the request using the information near the end of this newsletter.
College Requesting Final Transcripts
These are automated messages and do not mean that the college or university has not received your final transcript and proof of graduation. If the student completed the Senior final transcript survey, which nearly every senior did, the final transcript was sent, or will be sent at the end of summer school for those still completing graduation requirements.
If the new graduate is not sure, they can first look in their individual portal to their university to see if the final transcript has been uploaded, and if it has not been, they can email Ms Seuc to check at RSeuc@parkwayschools.net.
It is common for universities and colleges to have a delay between receiving the final transcript, uploading it and updating the student's account. College and universities are working with a large volume of transcripts this time of year. Sending more transcripts is not helpful, if the transcript has been sent, as it puts more burden on the college and university's data systems.
A+ PROGRAM
Verification of A+ Eligibility
If you have met all the criteria for the A+ program, including graduation, there was no paperwork for South High that needs to be completed. However, colleges do require paperwork for the funds to be distributed and used for your education. Be sure to be diligent with the communications from your college and their financial aid office.

MISCELLANEOUS ADVICE
College Communication including Community College
Be sure to follow through with setting up your account so you are well informed and ready for Fall 2021.
Future Success
College for some is a continuation of success, but for other students it can be a time for a fresh start. For the best outcome, whether you have chosen the military, work or college, there are a few keys to success. They are: personal responsibility, communication, time management, attention to detail, being willing to seek assistance, using your resources, doing your best, and not giving up.
For those attending college, typically it is advised that for every one hour you spend in the classroom, you will need two or more hours for study. A shift in the amount of time in class from high school to college, more responsibility on the student for academic progress, and fewer opportunities for grades can be an adjustment. Remember that if you have a bad academic day, tomorrow is a new day and you can start with your goal again.
Don't forget that your tuition pays for services for students. Check to see if your university or college has an academic center, tutoring, physical and mental health services for students that are included, or if there is a nominal fee.
