If you will be attending college, you must complete a FINAL
TRANSCRIPT REQUEST form. The charge is one dollar per
transcript and you can turn the form and fee into the
Registrar’s office. If you are or have taken college courses
through St. Philip’s College (DUAL CREDIT), you must send a
final transcript to them from Samuel Clemens High School
in order for St. Philip’s to release grades to your receiving
college or University.
PLEASE ORDER BY THE END OF MAY.
*** not a bad idea to request one just to keep for your records, more employees are
requiring this.
