procedure for sending high school transcripts to colleges

PROCEDURE FOR SENDING HIGH SCHOOL
TRANSCRIPTS TO COLLEGES
ALL OFFICIAL HIGH SCHOOL TRANSCRIPTS MUST BE SENT FROM THE
HIGH SCHOOL COUNSELING OFFICE.
Colleges prefer that you complete your application on-line. Many colleges will
waive the application fee for on-line applications.
After completing your application on-line you can now request that your
transcript be sent to them electronically through Docufide by Parchment
(www.parchment.com). This is a FREE service when sending your transcripts
to Michigan Colleges. If you want your transcript sent to the Common
Application or out of state colleges, there is a $2.55 charge. You may use
Docufide/Parchment for these and pay the charge; however, you DO NOT have
to, you can have the Counseling Office send it through regular mail for free.
Please see the back of this sheet for instructions. When sending your
transcript electronically through Docufide/Parchment, you DO NOT need to fill
out a Counselor Form.
If you have filled out the Common Application, please be sure to include your
Counselor’s e-mail address, this will allow your transcript to be electronically
requested via the Common App. DOCUFIDE WILL CHARGE $2.55 to request it
through them. Mr. Foreback – bforebac@goodrich.k12.mi.us; Mrs. Uhl –
juhl@goodrich.k12.mi.us
If you participated in dual enrollment, you must have that transcript sent
directly from the college you dual enrolled at.
Some colleges such as MSU and U of M-AA require that your ACT scores be
sent directly from ACT. They will not accept them as part of your transcript.
Please visit www.act.org for more information on how to send your scores.
As you receive your college acceptance letters and scholarship offers, be sure
to bring those into the Counseling Office. We need to make copies for our
files. This helps us with senior awards and reports.

COLLEGES/UNIVERSITIES.
THERE IS NO FEE FOR TRANSCRIPTS SENT TO MICHIGAN
There is a $2.55 fee to use Docufide for the Common Application and most out of state
colleges/universities. You MAY use Docufide for these and pay the fee, or you can request
your transcript be sent through the Counseling Office at no charge.
Your requests will be e-mailed to Mrs. Bernard in the Counseling Office. She will then approve
your requests and your transcripts will be sent electronically to your chosen destinations.
Docufide will send out official transcripts, checked and approved by your school. They will email
you to confirm that they've gone out. And for colleges (and other destinations) that accept
transcripts electronically, we'll even confirm when they receive them.
