THREE-YEAR HIGH SCHOOL TRANSCRIPT
This unofficial copy of your transcript for six terms is being submitted to you for your careful examination AT HOME. You are expected to examine the transcript to see if it accurately records ALL THE SUBJECTS YOU HAVE TAKEN and the CORRECT GRADES & COURSE DESIGNATIONS, i.e., A.P. US History OR E1H.
DO NOT ASK YOUR TEACHERS ABOUT THESE ENTRIES. Instead, take the transcript and these instructions home with you. FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY.
NOTES CONCERNING THE TRANSCRIPT
1. Regents and City-wide grades are recorded in the column marked EXAM SUMMARY.
2. AVERAGES: Your high school average is based on ALL subjects taken in the ninth, tenth, and eleventh grades EXCEPT Physical Education, and anything designated with an asterisk(*).
WHY IS THE TRANSCRIPT SO IMPORTANT TO YOU?
The transcript is an official document which reflects your high school achievement. It is sent to colleges, to organizations which grant scholarships, and to prospective employers. EXAMINE IT CAREFULLY – IT WILL FOLLOW YOU FOREVER. It is essential that it be accurate, as it will determine your rank.
**WHAT TO DO IF THE TRANSCRIPT IS CORRECT AS IS.**
If the transcript is correct—i.e., all courses and grades are correct, your name, address, date of birth, etc., are all accurate—DO NOTHING – KEEP IT FOR YOUR FILE—DO NOT SEND TO COLLEGES: IT IS NOT OFFICIAL!
**WHAT TO DO IF THE TRANSCRIPT IS NOT CORRECT.**
If there are errors on the transcript, do the following:
1. Circle the errors on the transcript.
2. Return the transcript to your guidance counselor by September 26, 2008, with the corrections. (Make a copy for your records.)
3. Any correction will ONLY be made by your guidance counselor.
THIS WILL BE YOUR ONLY OPPORTUNITY TO CORRECT YOUR TRANSCRIPT.
DEADLINE FOR CORRECTIONS: SEPTEMBER 26, 2008.
The sooner you take care of this, the sooner you will receive your rank.
ABSOLUTELY NO CHANGES WILL BE MADE AFTER SEPTEMBER 26, 2008
