SENDING TRANSCRIPTS TO COLLEGES
Seniors,
Transcripts must be sent to each college to which you are applying. Forms are available in the College and Career Center or in the Records Office in Student Services. Even if you bring us a request form from the college online application system, you must still fill out the Boca High form. Making sure that you have sent an official transcript is YOUR responsibility and following up with the college to make sure it was received is YOUR responsibility too.
If you are applying to any Florida Public Colleges, the transcript will be sent electronically. This will cost $1 per college. No envelopes are needed.
If you applying to any colleges on the Common Application, you will only need to order one transcript no matter how many colleges you are applying to using the Common Application system. This transcript will cost $3 and will be scanned to the Common App and sent to all of your colleges from there. Again, no envelopes are needed.
Any other college will require a paper transcript. Each one will cost $3 and must be sent by mail to the receiving college. Please bring an addressed envelope 9x12 with three stamps when you order your transcript. DO NOT add a return address as we will stamp the school address there.
Any questions, come to the College and Career Center.
