Problem with the transcript sending

Colleges and Universities A-Z University of California - Berkeley

<p>I attended this private high school for about one month in ninth grade, and so I put it on my record when I applied. Naturally, that transcript is one of the required documents I have to send in. However, since I was only there one month, they don't even have a transcript for me. So, I called today and the lady told me to put it in writing. So, this is what I came up with. I don't know what format I should use and stuff, so I kind of made that up. Anyway...</p>

<p>To the Office of Undergraduate Admissions:</p>

<p>I am an incoming freshman for the Fall 2005 term. I attended Monte Vista Christian School for about one month in my freshman year of high school and am required to send in a transcript for this period of time. However, according to that school, one month is not a long enough period of time to have any grades, and, therefore, any transcript to send in. Since it does not exist, I would appreciate it if it could be removed from my required documents on my online checklist. If there are any problems, please contact me or Mr. Barton at MVCS at (831)722-xxxx extension blah. Thank you very much.</p>

<pre><code>Sincerely,

<p>Now, I am wondering a few things. Is this sufficient? Are my greeting and closing okay? What are the odds that my enrollment is cancelled because of this?</p>

<p>Thanks.</p>

<p>I think it's more than sufficient. Did you email your admissions officer directly?</p>

3

<p>No. Should I? The operator lady I talked to said I should "put it in writing" which I automatically assumed to be snailmail. Plus, I can't find an email address anywhere and stuff. I'm probably just going to do the snailmail thing unless someone can find me the email address. I'll love you forever and ever if you find it. Seriously.</p>

<p>Fax in a signed letter. The no. is (510) 642 7333, if i'm not mistaken. I used it to send in a change in my high school courses. Btw, i sent in my transcript ages ago and the website still doesnt acknowledge it. anybody else having this problem?</p>

<p>your admissions officers email and name should be at the bottom of your conditions of admission</p>

6

<p>I found that sending changes & questions directly to my admission officer got me a reply within 2 days. Also, I sent in a transcript and it showed up on my checklist within a week.</p>

<p>your admissions officers email and name should be at the bottom of your conditions of admission</p>

<p>The only thing at the bottom of my conditions of admission is a snailmail address to the office of undergrad admissions. I'm tempted to do that faxing thing, but I'm curious - how long did it take before they gave you a reply about your course changes?</p>

<p>Thanks for all the help so far.</p>

<p>It tooks a few days, but it was the most efficient way of getting through. you can just call at 642 3175, and ask them about it if they dont respond within 2-3 days.</p>

9

<p>That sounds great. Do I need to include any other information, like my SSN or student id or anything?</p>

<p>Thanks so much!</p>

10

<p>When do we have to send the transcript?</p>

11

<p>You should include you Calnet ID. I sent my transcripts as soon as they became available.</p>

12

<p>What's their e-mail address, I can't find it anywhere, even in myBerkeleyApp.</p>

13

<p>I faxed it in about 3 days ago. There is no change yet. At what point do I give up and send in a regular letter? The office at the school that they may want to contact will be closing in June, so I hope that doesn't matter.</p>

<p>Is there any reason to worry? I'm starting to...</p>

14

<p>I don't think it should be a problem. They take the entire semester to review transcripts anyways.</p>

15

<p>I'm still feeling really worried. I know it's probably unnecessary, but I feel like I should still send in a regular letter. Would that be overkill? Will it do more harm than good? I'm thinking that I will probably do it, just for the peace of mind, if I don't hear from them by Wednesday. That is, unless I hear that it will make them hate me or something.</p>

16

<p>I think they lost my transcript the first time around. I've sent it again, but they haven't updated it as yet</p>

17

<p>The "Conditions for Admission" will not be checked off--ever. It's a self-guided process. Just call the office and see if they've received your letter. I called CAL to check if my SAT scores were in; and I have to check to see if my AP scores, UCLA transcript and Chaffey transcript get there as well. Just as long as they're system okays it, you'll be fine.</p>

<p>Not to mention these things don't have to get there until July 15, 2005.</p>

18

<p>Is your school sending the transcript, or do you actually have to come in after checkout day and request it?</p>

19

<p>My schoold does not automatically send transcripts. By law, there must be authorization from the student to send a transcript. I filed a request of transcript already, even though I don't graduate until June 16th. I put on the top, "FINAL TRANSCRIPT ONLY" so that the registrar won't sent it until after second semester grades come in.</p>

<p>It depends on how the bureaucracy works at your school.</p>

<p>Nice, we got Senior checkout forms today and there's a place to put down the college you want them to send an official transcript to.</p>
