Unofficial Transcripts
Students may need a copy of their unofficial transcripts for scholarships, summer camps, to have for their own records, or, sometimes, for employment. Students in grades 10-12 can log into their Skyward Portfolio to access their unofficial transcript and download it for use.
Official Transcript RequestsOfficial Transcripts for College Admission:
All official transcript requests for college admission will be done through the district's College & Career Readiness program, SchooLinks. Click here for instructions on adding your college apps to SchooLinks and request a transcript to support your application.
Allow 7 business days for the registrar’s office to process requests. Also, note that it can take the institution 7 days to process your transcript after they receive it. For this reason, it is normal for transcripts to take two weeks to show they have been received and processed by your university.
Official Transcripts for Scholarships:All official transcript requests for scholarships should be made in SchooLinks. If you need the transcript to accompany your application, you will need to make note of this in the request, as well as provide an addressed, stamped envelope to the registrar's assistant before your request will be processed. Be sure to double-check to see if the scholarship organization is requesting an official or unofficial transcript. Again, you are responsible for addressing and stamping the envelope, so the registrar can mail all documents together. Note: On occasion, a scholarship application will be completed online, but the official transcript will still need to be mailed.
Official Transcripts for Summer Camps/ Programs:
All official transcript requests for summer camps/ programs should be made in SchooLinks following the instructions for Scholarships above.Official Transcripts for mid-year and final requests:Students may need a mid-year report and/or a mid-year transcript submitted to a college they have applied to. This information will usually show in your SchooLinks College Application Manager, but it is up to the student to ensure it is sent. Students should communicate with their counselor and/or the registrar’s office to ensure the mid-year paperwork is sent. ALL students applying to college will need to send a Final transcript. Students will need to complete the Senior Year-End Activity task in SchooLinks to ensure the Registrar's office knows where to send your Final Transcript after graduation. Transcripts will not actually be sent to the university by the registrar’s office until after graduation (mid-June).
Note About Deadlines & Requests:
Transcripts are only sent on days the school is open Monday-Friday. Students should check their college and scholarship deadlines carefully. If a deadline is after a long break, students should not make transcript requests over the break with the expectation that the registrar’s office will be sending transcripts. For official transcript requests for scholarships, students should ensure they submit to the registrar’s office at least 3 days before the scholarship deadline.**Please note that not every college accepts electronic documents. Some must be mailed. If you are applying to a college that requires documents to be mailed, it is to your benefit to provide a self-addressed, stamped envelope to the Registrar's office. This allows the mail to go directly to the post office and bypass the district's mail room, which means your transcript will arrive at its destination sooner if you provide the envelope.**
Reminders
All transcript requests will be processed within 7 business days. (Excluding weekends and holidays) It is important to request transcripts at least one week before postmark deadlines.
Transcripts are processed and sent through the registrar's office, either electronically or by mail to the institution.
It is against district policy for official transcripts to be given to students or parents, but students do have access to their unofficial transcript in Skyward.
