How to Send High School Transcripts

High school transcripts are used by community colleges and universities to evaluate prospective students. These transcripts show the foundations a student has built during high school, and they also demonstrate whether a student has met some of the college's admission criteria. Many institutions require official transcripts, which often means that they must be provided in a closed envelope with the school's official seal over the back flap.
