Self-reporting transcripts questions

<p>I am applying to SUNY campuses through the SUNY application and they allow (require?) self-reporting transcripts until one is accepted and is willing to attend the college. Obviously, I am trying to make sure the grades I am reporting are 100% accurate so (if) when my counselor sends them the actual transcript and they double check the information, everything matches. </p>

<p>But I am a bit confused. </p>

<p>(1) When I add a course from 9th/10th/11th grade and indicate the length of the course (the choices are Full year/semester course, etc.), I can still only insert one grade. My full year classes were divided into two semesters, though, and I received a grade for each. What should I do? </p>

<p>(2) In my new school [senior year only], the school year is divided into quarters, therefore I have already received a grade for the first quarter. Should I report that? For example, my AP English class is a full year course but I only have a grade for the first quarter, should I put it as "Full year / AP English / A-"?
IIRC, my actual transcripts will be sent there in the summer, after I graduate, with all of my grades. I am afraid the information will be viewed as incorrect if I receive a different grade in the second/third/fourth quarters... Anyone has actually done this? :)</p>

<p>Thank you.</p>

<p>Is this for a 4 year SUNY? If so, I have never heard that they allow “self-reporting transcripts until one is accepted and willing to attend the college”…frankly, this just doesn’t sound right. Your school must send their transcripts and recommendations so the admissions department can make their decision. Please check with your guidance office as they will be able to help you with the SUNY app.</p>

<p>Never heard of this either, before this year. It is a third party site, where you self report your grades, from your transcript, which I suppose are used for preliminary application reviews by SUNY. Maybe SUNY is tired of waiting for The HS transcripts to arrive from the HS, which in my son’s case, the school really takes their time sending. There is a help link, on the site, which did answer the questions we had while submitting the grades.</p>

<p>Count me as another who is confused about this. At the info session we were told that you could self-report your SAT/ACT scores but they never said anything about self-reporting your transcript. Flash forward to this week as S attempts to self-report scores but this STARS system won’t let you submit unless you report scores AND grades. It’s a giant PITA. He’s decided to just spring for the $10.50 to send scores since his school has already submitted his transcript and just skip this STARS thing altogether.</p>

<p>And, yes, I did call Bing with this question. The student staffing the phone didn’t seem to know what I was referring to.</p>
