Transcript and Graduation Frequently Asked Questions
- Is the transcript in the Guide an official transcript?
- No. An official transcript must be signed by a school official (administrator or counselor). Many receiving institutions require the transcript to be sealed to be considered official.
- What if there is no transcript in the Guide?
- Students who did not have a transcript in their guide did not have an educational record on file at the time the data were. Students should connect with their school counselor.
- How is my on-track/off-track status determined on the graduation page?
- This status is determined by whether the student has passed or is currently enrolled in a key course to satisfy a subject requirement for an on-time graduation. A student may be “off-track” if they did not pass or have not taken a key class within a subject requirement.
- Each check box represents .5 credits.
