I just finished high school and graduated, phew! But now, i’m pretty sure that my school is closed down for the entirety of the summer from the look of previous years. When is the final transcript due? Can I turn that in when next semester rolls around?
You should have received information regarding what you will need for orientation. It should also tell you when the transcript is due. Check your Registration Information Sheet online to see if the final transcript is listed as a registration bar.
Most high schools now use an electronic transcript system that allows you to request the transcript even in the summer.
It says that its effective after Fall 2017 so I guess I can register just fine for fall then? :D? I checked all over the portal and my email and they didn’t say anything about the due date, just ASAP after graduation? :P? The pre-orientation email says nothing about a final transcript, just the vaccinations and advising, which will be cleared after orientation. Oh wait, transcripts “will not prevent you from registering for classes.” I’m tripping.
you should ideally submit your final transcript before orientation and it’s recommended to bring one with you to orientation so they know what classes you take. give your school a call, dont they have summer school? if not call the district or look them up online, now they have online system where you can easily request for a copy to be sent to UT.
Our DS, headed to the first Orientation session, has a bar on his online registration sheet that says High School transcript needed. He picked up a copy from his high school today and will take it with him.
The guidance office told him that their policy was not to send official transcripts electronically. They said it needs to arrive in an envelope sealed by the school. -Not sure if that is a universal thing or, just his TX HS. -To clarify, he can request it electronically through Naviance but, the school will only send snail mail official transcripts.
