2 - Change important accounts - If you have used your SCHOOL email to create important accounts, such as ACT, SAT, AP testing, CFNC, etc., you need to go ahead and switch those accounts NOW! Go ahead, log into your current account and change the settings to a new email address. Doing so will prevent a lot of headache down the road when you need to access these accounts.
3 - Students taking LCC classes currently in high school - It is YOUR RESPONSIBILITY to go to LCC to request a LCC FINAL TRANSCRIPT to send to the college you are planning to attend in the fall. Once your LCC classes end for the semester - which is coming quickly - you need to go ahead and request a final transcript to be sent to the college of your choice. I would also request a hard copy for yourself to take to summer college orientations - this will ensure you have proof of your courses when you meet with your new college advisor. If you are currently taking LCC courses and are planning to continue at LCC, there is no need for a transcript to be requested and sent.
4 - Final Official High School Transcripts - Please make sure you let me know NOW of where you are planning to attend college in the fall. Most of you have already done so, but if your plans change, you need to let me know. If you are going into the military or entering the workforce, you need to let me know as I will not need to send a transcript off for you. This is your last FREE transcript that will get sent. If you have told me where you are attending in the fall, your final transcript will automatically be sent to the college you have indicated. Please do not overload my email or the counseling center with transcript requests. Colleges are going to send you reminders about sending your final transcripts, however, if you have told me where you are attending, I promise your transcript will be sent. Your transcript will not be sent until at least the WEEK AFTER GRADUATION.
5 - Final transcripts and graduation - You will also a receive an official high school transcript AT GRADUATION or with your diploma if you are not planning to walk. If I were you, I WOULD NOT OPEN this transcript, especially if you are planning to attend an early college orientation (June). By having this official transcript on hand, many colleges will go ahead and use the one you have on your person during orientation to help you register for your college courses.
