Where can I find my High School Transcript?

Hey friends, honestly, I'm kinda lost here. I'm crafting my college applications and it's time to get my transcripts in order, but I have absolutely no idea where to find them. Do I ask my school counselor? Is it posted online somewhere? A little help please?

Hi there,

Understandably, the college application process can seem overwhelming at times. To get your high school transcript, the process often begins at your school's guidance or administration office. Typically, you'd request a copy from your counselor or the main administrative body of your school.

Some schools have online systems, either through their own websites or through a third-party service like Parchment or Naviance where you can request your transcripts to be sent directly to the universities you're applying to. However, not all schools utilize these services.

Regardless of the system in place, it’s recommended to allow your high school some time to gather this information for you – a few weeks is usually adequate. Also, bear in mind that there may be a fee associated with the request. Make sure you request an official transcript; these are often sent directly to the university either electronically or via mail and are not touched by the student as they have an official school seal.

Overall, the best first step is to check with your school counselor or the main office for the exact procedure at your school. They will be able to guide you through the process. Good luck!
