How to Make Sure My School Sent My Transcript

The admissions procedure for continued education usually requires transcripts along with an application to document your previous education and grades. The final responsibility for a proper application and the submission of transcripts rests upon the applicant. Therefore, when you submit an application that requires a transcript, follow up to make sure your school sent the transcript. Failure to follow up may lead to a rejected application.

Instructions

    • 1

      Contact the admissions department of the school to which you are applying to find out the status of your application. If your application is missing key components, such as a transcript, your application approval may enter a "pending" status, meaning your full approval is pending the school receiving all of the required information. Follow up with your former school if the school has not received your transcript.

    • 2

      Contact your former school by telephone and speak with a representative in the school records department. Give your name and your graduating year to the representative. Ask the representative to check your file to find a record of the school sending your transcript.

    • 3

      Determine the method that the school used to send the transcript. The school may have sent the transcript electronically or it may have sent a hard copy through the mail. Verify the e-mail address the school used if it sent the transcript electronically or verify the mailing address if the school sent a hard copy of the transcript.

    • 4

      Ask the school to resend the transcript if you find an error in the e-mail address or mailing address or if it appears that the transcript did not arrive properly even after your school sent it.
