Transcripts

A transcript is a record of your year end grades for G9-G12.

In addition to your year-end marks, it shows your Grade Point Average and that you have completed graduation requirements.

Official Transcript: Official Transcripts are signed, stamped and sealed in an envelope to be given to the school. If the seal is broken, it is no longer official. When possible, transcripts will be emailed to the university or submitted through BridgeU by the College Counselor. Transcripts emailed from anyone else are not considered official.

Unofficial transcript: You may request an unofficial transcript at any time.

For current students requesting a transcript, please complete this form. You will be contacted when it is ready. It can take a few days. There might be a longer delay when school is not in session.

For students who have already graduated, please use ACSI Transcript Request Form.

Essays

Essays serve various purposes in the application process from a writing sample, showing why you want to study your major, to getting to know YOU. It is important to understand the purpose of the essay to be able to write it to your best advantage.

Demonstrated Interest

With so many schools to apply to, universities want to know if you apply, what are the chances you will accept their offer. The way to show them you are truly interested in their school is by demonstrating interest. Here are a few ways to demonstrate your interest.

School Visits: If at all possible, visit university campuses. If you can’t for your own benefit, check our virtual tours when available.

Email the representatives: When you have questions, email the school yourself. Communication should come from you as much as possible, not your university counselor or parents.

Go to university Fairs: If the school you are interested in is visiting campus, talk to them!

Financial Aid

University education is an investment. It is an investment that can be quite overwhelming financially. Proper planning, communication, and excellent academics can help make the investment a bit better to manage.
