Hey all! I need to send my high school transcripts to a few schools I'm applying to. How can I request them online?
Hello! Requesting your high school transcripts online is typically an easy process. Many schools use online platforms, such as Parchment or Naviance, to manage and send student transcripts. Here are the steps you'll want to follow:
1. Check with your high school's counseling office or registrar to determine which platform they use for sending transcripts. If they don't use either Parchment or Naviance, they should provide you with instructions on how to proceed.
2. If your school uses Parchment:
- Visit parchment.com and create an account if you don't already have one.
- After your account is set up, search for your high school and add it to your account.
- Follow the prompts to request your transcript.
- Select the schools you'd like to send your transcripts to, and complete the payment process if applicable.
3. If your school uses Naviance:
- Visit your school-specific Naviance login page (ask your counselor if you're unsure where to find it) and log in to your account.
- In Naviance, find the "Colleges" tab and select "Colleges I'm Applying to."
- For each college you're applying to, there should be an option to request a transcript. Click that, and your request should be sent to your counselor.
Keep in mind that there might be a processing fee associated with sending transcripts, so have a credit or debit card handy if needed. Additionally, it's a good idea to follow up with your counselor to confirm that they've received your request and to make sure the transcripts are sent on time. Good luck with your applications!
