How often do colleges check for final grades?

<p>Hi!</p>

<p>I was accepted to a good state university. In the acceptance letter, however, they say, "please send back final transcript for checking".</p>

<p>How often does this really happen? Is it just a formality that is overlooked often?</p>

<p>Thanks.</p>

<p>Colleges generally require you to submit a final high school transcript in June when you finish high school. For one it proves you graduated, a condition for entering the college. And colleges do use such trranscripts to withdraw admission decisions if the student has screwed up senior year. What degree of screw up is needed varies among colleges</p>

<p>It’s not a formality at all.</p>

<p>Many schools will not let you register for classes if they don’t have a final transcript.</p>
