APPLICATION PROCESS
Apply early! The Guidance Office needs TWO weeks to process and mail your applications-so plan your timing with that in mind—especially for January 1 deadlines. Our last day of school before that is Dec. 21 so the application needs to be turned in by Dec. 7.
Steps for Applying to College
- Complete an on-line application with a college through their web site. (For steps on how to do this WITHOUT parchment, please see below).
-
To Send Transcript: Go to www.parchment.com
- Register with Parchment.
- Request that your transcript be sent to that college.
- A Secondary School Report (SSR form) will be automatically generated through Parchment for Indiana Colleges and your counselor will complete it on-line.
- If your college is out of state and not completed through the Common Application, print the counselor page (SSR form) and bring it to the counseling office.
- If you need teacher recommendations, you may either give the teachers stamped addressed envelopes or mail them yourself.
- You will receive two e-mail confirmations from Parchment: one when your transcript has been sent and another when your counselor recommendation has been submitted.
- If the colleges you applied to require mid-year and/or final reports to be sent, it is your responsibility to bring the mid-year and/or final report forms to the counseling office.
- If you are using the Common Application, either print it off and bring it into the guidance office or go to the Common App Web Site and complete it there.
- Send SAT/ACT Scores – Go to www.act.org for to send ACT scores. Go to www.collegeboard.com to send SAT scores. These should go directly to the university or college in which you direct.
Steps for Students completing a paper application without Parchment
- Bring the completed and signed applications to the guidance secretary or complete the application on-line and bring the counselor form.
- Bring $2.00 per application to cover processing and postage
- Include a check made out to the college for the specified application fee if not already paid on line. Do not send cash.
