<p>Are first semester grades REQUIRED to be sent, or will we be asked for them if they want them? DS is awaiting a (regular) decision...doubt submission will sway them in one direction or another but want to make sure we've submitted everything required. Thanks!</p>
<p>I think you need to check with your high school to see what they send…Technically, I believe an “official” transcript only has final grades, but for college applications, high schools may send the completed grades from the first few semesters. Check with your guidance department.</p>
<p>There have been threads asking if you need to submit final grades from senior year. A lot of students say they never did, but I can tell you that at my kids’ high school, they were actually sent automatically, directly from school to school, and I would never have known if I hadn’t asked.</p>
<p>Thanks maryversity. I’m looking for what UMD is requiring. DS’s HS sent up to 6th semester grades for his app and will send 7th if we request them to…just not sure if UMD wants them or not. Pretty hard to find on the website…ugh.</p>
