I'm applying to University of Delaware, and I've heard about their Self-Reported Academic Record (SRAR) system. How does it work, and what do I need to do to submit my SRAR? Any advice or tips would be great!
The Self-Reported Academic Record (SRAR) system allows applicants to input their high school academic information manually instead of sending in official transcripts during the application process. This can save time and money, as you won't need to request official transcripts from your high school unless you're accepted and decide to enroll at the University of Delaware.
To submit your SRAR, follow these steps:
1. Create an SRAR account: First, create an account on the SRAR website (srar.selfreportedtranscript.com). Make sure to use the same email address you used for your college application, as this will help the university match your SRAR to your application more easily.
2. Input your high school information: Fill in details about your high school, including its name, location, and graduation date.
3. Add courses and grades: Enter your course information (title, level, and credit) and the grades you received for each marking period (semester or quarter) for each year of high school. It's important to be accurate and thorough, so have a copy of your unofficial transcript or grade report handy for reference.
4. Review and submit: Double-check your SRAR for any errors or discrepancies. Once you're confident that all the information is accurate, submit your SRAR. Keep in mind that once you've submitted your SRAR, you won't be able to make any changes, so triple-check your work!
Once you've submitted your SRAR according to University of Delaware guidelines, the admissions office will review it alongside your application materials. Remember, if you're accepted and choose to enroll at the University of Delaware, you'll need to send your official high school transcript to verify the information you provided in your SRAR.
A few tips:
- Do not leave any courses off your SRAR, including those taken in middle school for high school credit.
- Make sure you differentiate between semester-based and year-long courses when inputting the credit amounts.
- If you took dual enrollment or college courses, you should include these on your SRAR as well.
- Don't worry too much about the formatting of your course titles, so long as the essential information is clear (e.g., "AP Biology" vs. "Advanced Placement - Biology").
Good luck with your application to the University of Delaware!
