Summer is often a time to relax and have fun, but dont go into full relaxation summer mode yet, because we still need a couple things from youâ€"including your transcripts. As always, were here to walk you through the process. When What We Need Our office needs yourofficial, final high school transcripts by July 10. To be considered final, they must include your grades for years 9 through 12 and a confirmation of graduation. If your final transcripts won’t be ready by our deadline, you must send an official transcript with your grades from years 9 to 11 by July 10, followed by your final transcript as soon as it’s available. Your high school may send your transcripts through an electronic transcript vendor. If your school doesnt work with a vendor and is a U.S. school, your counselor or registrar can email a PDF directly to etranscript@illinois.edu using their school account. Your high school can also mail official paper copies directly to the Office of Undergraduate Admissions. Unfortunately, we do not accept electronic transcripts emailed directly from students or from international institutions. Special Cases Now, there may be some special cases when you need to send additional materials to our office. See below for some situations you may run into. Be sure to read through all of the points! Multiple U.S. High Schools If you’ve attended multiple U.S. high schools and your current school doesn’t list the grades from your previous school, you should send transcripts from both your current and previous high school. You only need to send us your final high school transcripts if your current school already includes the grades from your previous school, Dual Credit Classes If you took adual credit class, have the institution thats awarding credit send us your official transcript.
