    All students planning to attend college must send a FINAL transcript to the admissions office of the college they will attend in the Fall of 2021. 

     
    FOR IN-STATE COLLEGES & UNIVERSITIES
     
    For all schools in NC, students should request final transcripts through their CFNC account. If you requested an initial transcript through CFNC, a final transcript will automatically be sent by CFNC approximately 10 days after graduation.  Students can check in their CFNC account to confirm a final transcript is "pending".  If you do not have an account with CFNC, click HERE to create one.  Please remember to include your student number when setting up your student profile or it will not allow you to send your transcript.  You can then request a transcript through the Application Hub.
     
    FOR OUT OF STATE COLLEGES & UNIVERSITIES
     
    If you will attend college out-of-state and applied through the Common Application, your counselor will upload your transcript for you.  Please note:  you must contact your counselor before the last day of school to have this task completed.
     
    For all other out-of-state colleges and universities, click HERE to send your transcript. Your final transcript will be sent free of charge.

    Resume Information:
    Creating a resume is helpful in showcasing a student's skills, accomplishments, and activities to any organization such as employers, service agencies, and colleges/universities. Also, a resume can assist teachers, counselors, employers, and community leaders in writing a recommendation for college and/or scholarship applications when requested. Finally, creating a resume enables the student to become more aware of their level of involvement and to assess what areas need to be strengthened during high school in preparation for post HS pursuits. A resume enables the student to keep an ongoing record throughout high school.
