Requesting high school transcripts

Hey guys, how do I obtain my high school transcripts? Is it something I request from my school counselor, or is there an online website where I can get it? Kinda lost here, please help! Thanks in advance.

Hey there! To obtain your high school transcripts, you'll generally need to contact your high school's guidance or counseling office, as they are responsible for keeping and providing your academic records. The process can vary from school to school, so here are a few common ways to request your transcripts:

1. In-person: If you're still attending the school or live nearby, you can visit your school counselor or the registrar's office and ask them about the process. They might have a form you need to fill out or specific information they need from you.

2. Email or phone: If you can't visit the school in person, you can reach out to your school counselor or the registrar's office via email or phone, explaining that you need your transcripts. Make sure to provide your full name and graduation year so they can locate your records.

3. Online: Some schools may use an online platform, like Parchment or Naviance, to manage transcripts. If your school uses one of these platforms, you can create an account, request your transcripts, and have them sent to your desired destinations (such as colleges or employers). Check your school's website or reach out to the counseling office for information on whether they use an online platform and how to access it.

4. By mail: If neither of these options is available, you may be able to request your transcripts by mailing a letter to your school's counseling office with your full name, graduation year, contact information, and any other relevant details.

Remember to allow some time for processing. Some schools may have a small fee for sending transcripts or a limit on how many copies they'll provide for free, so make sure to ask about any potential fees when you request your transcripts.

Good luck!
