CLASS of 2022 FINAL TRANSCRIPTS

Congratulations seniors! You are graduated and officially in the transition to your next stage of life. As a reminder, here is the process for sending final transcripts to your college:

• June 6th-8th. The college counseling team sends your CCHS final, official transcript to your College Attending in Naviance. Remember that every college processes documents differently, so it could take some time to be reflected in your portal.
• You are responsible for sending any outside or Dual-Enrollment/MiraCosta transcripts:
  • Click on this link: MiraCosta Transcript Request and follow the instructions for “Order College Transcripts Online”
• If your College Attending has changed or you are still considering schools that you are on the waitlist for, please email your counselor to let them know.

COLLEGE FAIRS/INFORMATION SESSIONS

The Coast to Coast College Tour is a joint travel partnership bringing together admissions representatives from Dartmouth College, Northwestern University, Princeton University, the University of California-Berkeley, and Vanderbilt University. They travel together because each of their institutions practices a holistic admissions process in a highly selective environment. This program will provide you with the opportunity to learn about each individual institution, and receive insight on navigating the selective admissions process. Meant as a brief introduction to the signature aspects of each institution, they’ll spend the bulk of the time sharing application advice, financial aid insights, and answering questions submitted by students in advance.
