If you are still in high school:
At the time you apply and before the application deadline, submit an official high school transcript (or its equivalent) showing the work you have completed to date. As soon as you complete high school (or its equivalent), you must submit an official, final transcript. If you have attended more than one high school, submit an official transcript only from the most recently attended school, provided that all your high school coursework, performance and graduation information are posted on the transcript.

If you have attempted any college coursework, including while in high school:
In addition to your high school transcript, you must also request an official transcript showing any completed work in college courses (i.e., early college or other dual-enrollment students). When you apply, submit a transcript showing completed college coursework and any coursework in progress. After you complete any work in progress, submit a final college transcript. A copy of a college course schedule for any courses in progress is very beneficial for advising and course registration purposes.

Note: Advanced standing credit cannot be awarded from a high school transcript.

All of your documentation does not have to arrive together. Any information received before you submit your application (i.e., official transcripts) will be held for 12 months in anticipation that an application is forthcoming. Any information received after you submit an application will be processed and added to your record.
