Hey guys, I'm starting to work on my college applications and I'll need my high school transcript for them. How can I access my high school transcript? Should I reach out to my counselor or is there an online portal where I can request it?
Hey! You're on the right track thinking about getting your high school transcript for your college applications. To access your high school transcript, there are a couple of ways you can do it:
1. Contact your high school counselor: The most straightforward way is to reach out to your high school counselor or your school's main office to obtain your transcript. They'll be able to provide you with an official copy, which is usually required for college applications.
2. Check if your school has an online portal: Some schools might have an online portal where you can request your transcript. Search on your school's website or inquire about it with your counselor or main office. These portals usually provide electronic transcripts, which can be sent directly to colleges or downloaded by you for submission.
Remember that colleges typically require official copies of your transcript, so make sure you request the official version, not an unofficial one. Keep in mind that some schools might charge a small fee for sending transcripts or processing the request. Good luck with your college applications!
