<p>So, I am taking a few online courses through an accredited online school (which sends grades for courses back to my school to be included in my transcript upon completion), and have run into a dilema. The majority of the classes I am taking are AP, and I want to be able to report the fact that I am taking them to colleges that I will be applying to in the fall. However, the online school has a policy that grades will not be released to my regular school (to be included on my transcript) until the AP exam is completed, regardless of when I finish the actual course. How can I report these classes and grades to colleges if they are not officially included on my transcript yet?</p>
<p>Ask your school to put it in with an “In progress” note? Seems like a bad policy, since a student might not be able to graduate without certain classes. Have you tried contacting the online school? Or is it a giant soulless machine?</p>
<p>Is there any way you can get an unofficial transcript or letter from the person in charge of that describes what your performance is like?</p>
<p>On the Common App, you will be asked what courses you are currently taking. List those courses, and then ask your GC to write a brief explanation, and try to get some form of unofficial documentation from your online school.</p>
<p>One of my son’s online school also had that policy. An unofficial transcript did solve the problem.</p>
<p>Actually, they do get it in time for graduation since my school graduates students in June and the grades get put in right after AP exams.</p>
<p>I think I’ll do that. I just talked with one of my online teachers and she’s willing to write up a report with my grade and course info for colleges. I’ll just see if the other teachers would do that, and ask my guidance counseler to include a note of it on his rec.</p>
<p>Thanks for all the help =)</p>
