*Please note that your school counselor cannot guarantee the confidentiality of the physical setting that you are in. This means that we don’t know if there are unintended viewers or recipients in your physical setting. Please be mindful of choosing a private space and if possible, use headphones with a microphone to promote your privacy. Start using the Webex chat feature with your school counselor if you are worried and need more privacy during your conversation.
We provide transcripts to colleges, universities, trade schools and employers for current and former students. You can also order a transcript for yourself. Please go to our Transcript Requests webpage for more information.
