FINAL TRANSCRIPT In May, seniors must request their Final Transcript be sent to the college to which they have enrolled. The Final Transcript verifies completion of all high school courses and grades and provides confirmation of high school graduation. Colleges typically require final transcripts by July 1st. Transcripts required by fraternities, sororities and scholarship organizations must be requested separately through Parchment.
