<p>I really need to be cleared ASAP -- it's a long story but I never registered with the NCAA while in high school. Will rushing scores speed up this process at all?</p>
<p>And while I'm at it -- I attended a different school for 9th grade than the rest of high school, but those grades are on my second school's transcript. Is it likely that the NCAA will be confused by this and still think that I need to send in a transcript from 9th grade?</p>
<p>The NCAA will not be confused - you DO have to send a separate transcript from each high school you attended. You also must have ACT/SAT scores sent directly as NCAA will not accept scores on a transcript. Rushing scores does help. </p>
<p>We had this problem this week. My daughter attended 3 different high schools, but failed to follow up that all three had sent the transcripts. One required use of Parchment, one doesn’t use Parchment, and the final will do it either way. Her final school swears they sent the transcripts in July showing final grades and graduation (required, even though they were sent in the fall of senior year). Anyway, two transcripts were mailed (regular mail as I don’t live near either school and the schools won’t pay for express or overnight mail) and the third by Parchment last Monday. Two of the three were received and processed by Friday (even though I was told those mailed in would take 10 days to process), and they are still waiting for the final graduation transcript, even though I’m sure the NCAA lost it (all the other students from her high school were cleared).</p>
<p>I was told by the NCAA that Parchment and overnight mail is processed immediately and those received by regular mail are processed within 10 days. D’s were mailed and processed within 5 days; Parchment order was processed immediately. </p>
<p>Thank you so much @twoinanddone – so just to be clear, even if all of my credits are on the second school’s transcript, I need to send one from both schools? I didn’t have to do that even when I sent in college applications so it comes up as strange that the NCAA would require it.</p>
<p>The NCAA is all powerful and they can make up any stupid rules they want. Yes, each school you attend must send an original transcript. The school you graduate from must also send a final with proof of graduation.</p>
<p>There was a story recently about a football player from Florida who wanted to go to a D-2 (I think) college in Iowa. One school he had attended had been closed. No one had the records. No one could get the records, not even the state. NCAA would not make an exception even though they were part of his graduation record from his final high school . The school couldn’t pay this student’s travel, so all his neighbors passed the hat and got him a plane ticket, and somehow he got some non-athletic aid. It was not a case of him trying to get around submitting bad grades or illegal recruiting.</p>
<p>After reading your post today, I checked my daughter’s NCAA account and she’s been ‘Cleared for Competition’ so they must have received (or found) the final transcript affirming her graduation. All in less than a week of requesting them from the high schools and I know 2 were mailed Monday and the Parchment school sent them on Tuesday.</p>
<p>Note that not all high schools participate in Parchment. My son’s does not, but luckily we found out last year when he was a junior. We also found out that submitting the forms “the right way” resulted in a significant delay, of more than a month, so when we need to get his final transcript sent, we will contact the on-call guidance counselor in the summer and get the form directly to them instead of the normal channels. That’s what got it done quickly last time.</p>
