Academics : Transcript Requests

Steps to Obtaining Your Transcripts

  1. Obtain a permission to release form and have on file in guidance. This form states that your guardian gives permission for your academic information to be released. This form only needs to be filled out once and then you can request as many transcripts you need without additional signatures.
  2. Go to Guidance to get a transcript request form and fill it out.
  3. Take it to the finance office and pay $5.00 for each transcript.
  4. Bring the white copy to guidance. You keep the yellow as receipt.
  5. Fill out an additional form stating when you would like the transcripts to be sent. We like to send letters of recommendation and transcripts at the same time so the schools receive everything together. This form lets you decide when the transcripts should be sent.
  6. Guidance uses a post card system as an insurance that these important documents have been received. The post card is sent to the school and states what has been sent. For example: transcripts and letters of recommendation are enclosed. The schools then checks off that they have received the documents and the post card is sent back to West Catholic and kept in the student's file as receipt. Feel free to check with guidance to make sure we received a post card from the school in about a 2 week time frame.
