TRANSCRIPTS:

 

Your Transcript is a record of all your grades to date (Freshman, Sophomore, and Junior years) including scores from standardized tests that you have taken, and activities from the past years, that you submitted on your Activity Sheets.

 

In addition, we submit a Sacred Heart Academy School Profile and a list of your senior courses with each transcript.

 

How do I get one???

 

Transcript Request Forms are located on the table directly to the left as you walk into the Guidance Office.  They are also available via the link on the right.

Completed Transcript Request Forms can be submitted to Mrs. Donohue. 

 

Be sure to:

  • Attach, with a paper clip, the Transcript Request Form and the transcript request fee ($2.00 per transcript for the first six (6) requests and $5.00 for each additional request) to a large manila envelope (8x12), (addressed to the Office of Admissions, college name and address).  Do not put your return address or postage on this envelope.  You may write your name in the lower left-hand corner of the envelope.  Your completed application and all  required materials should be enclosed in this envelope.

  • In addition, if your college requires a faculty recommendation letter(s), it is your responsibility to request the letter(s) and to follow up with faculty.  Complete the Faculty Recommendation Information Sheet, which is available in the Guidance Office, and give it to a faculty member – the sooner the better. MAKE YOUR RQUESTS EARLY!! Faculty will submit letters directly to the Guidance Office. It is very important that you notify faculty as to due dates for letters of recommendation. The letters must be in the Guidance Office before you submit your application requests.

You are responsible for checking all deadlines.  Please allow two weeks for processing.

 

SCHOLARSHIP APPLICATIONS can be submitted at any time using the same procedure as a college transcript request.  The fee for each scholarship is $2.00 (no limit)

 

First Quarter Grades will automatically be sent with your transcript once grades are available.  However, for transcripts mailed prior to NOVEMBER 1, 2007, it is your responsibility to request that Guidance forward your grades to those colleges. In these cases, please bring an addressed, postage paid, business sized envelope to Guidance.

 

MID-YEAR GRADES  (FIRST SEMESTER) WILL BE SENT ONLY UPON YOUR REQUEST.  Keep a record of schools that require your Mid-Year Grades. In January 2008, when these grades are available, it is your responsibility to request that they be mailed.

 

 

**The Guidance Department has a STRICTLY enforced deadline of Wednesday, December 3, 2007, for submitting transcript requests that you wish to have mailed before Christmas Vacation. This includes any college with a deadline of January 1, January 15, or February 1, 2008.**

 

IF you have any questions regarding this policy please come to the Guidance Office.

 

Upon receipt of any college notification, please see Mrs. Donohue in the Guidance Office.  There are forms to be completed for this very confidential information.

 

Thank you.                                                                             (updated 8/07)
