I'm applying to Clemson and heard about this SRAR (Self-Reported Academic Record) thing. Can someone help me understand what it is and if I need to complete it for Clemson? Any advice is appreciated!
Clemson University, like many other colleges, uses the Self-Reported Academic Record (SRAR) system to allow applicants to report their high school coursework and grades directly on their college application. It streamlines the process and minimizes the need for official transcripts during the application review. If you're applying to Clemson, you'll need to complete the SRAR to provide your academic information.
To complete the SRAR, you'll want to have a copy of your high school transcript handy, as you'll need to report your completed courses, grades, and any relevant academic recognitions. Keep in mind that the courses and grades you report on your SRAR must be accurate and match your transcript. Any discrepancies found during the verification process after you have been admitted may lead to the rescinding of your admission offer.
Here's a step-by-step guide to help you with the SRAR process:
1. Visit the Clemson applicant portal and find the SRAR section.
2. Click on "Begin" to start the process of filling out your SRAR.
3. Follow the prompts to input your personal and high school information.
4. Begin entering your course and grade information for each year of high school you have completed. Remember to include all coursework, even if it was taken at a different school or during the summer.
5. Review your entries carefully, ensuring all information is accurate and matches your transcript.
6. Once you have double-checked your SRAR, submit it.
After submitting your SRAR, you should keep a close eye on your application status in the applicant portal to ensure there are no issues or outstanding requirements.
If you're admitted to Clemson and decide to enroll, you'll be required to send an official high school transcript to confirm the accuracy of your SRAR. It's essential to be accurate and truthful while completing the SRAR, as any discrepancies between your self-reported record and the official transcript may affect your admission status.
