How do colleges ask for your senior grades?

Do colleges contact your guidance office or do they send you something in the mail requesting that you have your guidance office send them your senior grades? I just want to know so I won’t be too devastated if I see a small envelope in my mailbox because the letter might be asking me to send my grades.

<p>I know that the college I applied to requested my first quarter grades through my guidance counseler. I was never made aware of the fact that they were sent . . .</p>
