I'm applying to some universities in Tennessee and I was wondering if they accept the SRAR or if they require a traditional high school transcript. Does anyone have experience with this and can provide insight on whether I should fill out an SRAR for Tennessee universities or not?
It's important to get the application requirements right when applying to universities, so I understand your concern regarding the SRAR. While some universities have adopted the Self-Reported Academic Record (SRAR) as an alternative to submitting high school transcripts, acceptance of the SRAR varies by institution.
In Tennessee, some universities accept SRAR, while others may require an official high school transcript. It's essential to check with each specific university you're applying to determine their requirements. The admissions office or the application instructions on their websites should provide you with the necessary information.
If you find that some of the schools you're applying to accept SRAR, it can be beneficial to complete it, as this can potentially save you time and money on transcript requests. However, keep in mind that you will still need to send an official transcript upon acceptance and enrollment at the university. Be sure to confirm the details with the institution and submit all required materials in a timely manner.
Good luck with your applications to Tennessee universities!
