Transcript Release Time

Getting ready to apply to colleges and I'm curious, when do most high schools usually release transcripts to students?

You should contact your high school's counseling or administrative office directly for the most accurate answer regarding when they typically release transcripts to their students. The process can vary from school to school. Some may release transcripts right at the end of the school year, while others might wait until the summer, or even into the fall of a student's senior year. However, when it's time to apply to colleges, your school will generally send your transcripts directly to the universities you're applying to, instead of giving them to you. Many high schools use an online service to facilitate this process, such as Naviance or Parchment. When you begin the application process, make sure to request your transcripts with enough lead time – schools often require a few weeks to process such requests.
