Missing Required Item: Final Official High School/Secondary School Transcript

Colleges and Universities A-Z Rutgers University

Sorry if this is a stupid question, but I’ve searched here, online, and all over Rutgers FAQs. The RD deadline is coming up in 2 days. Did anyone else get this error message?

Everything else is showing up as having been submitted - application, essay, SRAR, and test scores.

Because my son hasn’t finished his senior year, we mailed his first marking period transcripts in the format required of homeschoolers. His mid-year/first semester won’t end until mid-December, and course, there won’t be a final transcript until next year. We sent out a request for his public school transcript (1 semester of 11th grade) and his community college transcript for a dual enrollment class won’t be available until the course has been completed. How he’s schooled though shouldn’t matter in this case as his school year is similar to regular schoolers.

Short Version: Just wanting to see if anyone else got the big red X on the required items list or was my son the only one.

I am confused because I thought the self reported grades replaced a transcript.

Maybe it does. Just wanted to make sure we were in compliance. College always require more of homeschoolers and I thought maybe that’s why my son was getting that error message. He turned in the self reported grades as required. Took 3 hours to enter them all. Maybe it’s just a glitch or something everyone has on theirs. Maybe there’s a delay because of the holiday. Time will tell.
