All WCPSS High Schools Students Can Send Electronic Transcripts

October 1, 2009 - Students at all Wake County Public School System high schools now have the ability to request their official high school transcript be securely sent electronically to any of the 110 North Carolina public, private, and community colleges and universities through the College Foundation of North Carolina's college access web portal, CFNC.org.

Eric Sparks who heads up WCPSS Counseling and Student Services, says high school guidance offices have been working with CFNC.org to make this service available.

"Wake County high school counselors and registrars are excited that students can now request their transcripts electronically,” said Sparks. “The CFNC website makes this part of the college admissions process easy and efficient with no cost to our students."

In May 2009, eight pilot schools were added to the CFNC Transcript System and over 1,100 electronic transcripts were securely delivered since that time.

With all Wake County Public High Schools having electronic transcript capabilities on CFNC.org, it is anticipated that over 10,000 transcripts will be delivered to colleges throughout North Carolina for the WCPSS Class of 2010.

Official electronic high school transcripts (current and final) can be requested on CFNC.org in one of two ways:

Students can also track their electronic transcript activity on CFNC.org. Electronic transcript tracking activity includes destination colleges, date sent and status of transcripts.

“Students should be talking with their school counselors if they have questions on using this system,” said Sparks. “Automating this process will help students and counseling staff who are working to meet the deadlines in the college admission process.”

The CFNC Electronic Transcript System has been operational since Fall 2003 and has securely delivered over 142,000 official high school transcripts electronically.
