Transcripts: Sending to Colleges/Universities

Seniors:  
For College Applications, Initial / Midyear / Final Official Transcripts will either be sent electronically via Scoir to the colleges that you are applying to or by mail (to those colleges which do not accept electronic documents.)

Student must print the transcript request form and submit the form and applicable fees to Mr. Hanna, the LCHS Student Systems Information Specialist - SSIS, in the counseling office.

Fees:

$50  up to 15 colleges/universities.

$90 for more than 16 colleges. 

Fees are payable by cash or check made out to LCHS. Payments are non-refundable. If there is financial hardship, please alert your counselor. The last day to order and pay for initial transcripts is December 1. Anything requested after that date will be sent after winter break.

Transcripts for College Applicants

 

Common App

Look at each college and if it says "School Report" required, that means you have to send initial transcripts. To find this information, log-in to your Common App account and go through the colleges in your list one at a time. The very first page of information for each college is where you’ll find the info. Some colleges may ask you to complete the “courses and grades” section instead of or in addition to.

 

UC

The University of California (UC) will use your self-reported grades for admission purposes and will not require initial transcripts at the time you apply. Unless a campus requests it, do not send a sixth- or seventh-semester transcript. You will only be sending a final transcript to the UC if you decide to enroll at that campus.

CSU

The California State University (CSU) will use your self-reported grades for admission purposes and will not require initial transcripts at the time you apply, however some CSU campuses may ask you for transcripts in order to complete their review. It is important to monitor your CSU portals carefully. If you are asked for a transcript, please see your counselor.

Community College

For both Pasadena City College and Glendale Community College, transcripts are not required in order to apply. You will need to send a final high school transcript later.

 

Other

For all other colleges, refer directly to the college website for requirements.

 

Special Programs 

Colleges with specialized programs requiring supplemental application materials may have additional transcript requirements. It is the students responsibility to research the transcript requirements for every college to which they are applying and to follow those instructions accordingly.

 

Early Decision Applicants

If your college requests that you submit a progress report or quarter report card, please alert your counselor since this is an entirely different thing than a transcript.
