Please remember to be proactive on your requests for transcripts and recommendations for colleges with deadlines!

We anticipate that mid-year transcripts/reports will be available to send to colleges in late January. We are unable to send mid-year transcripts/reports until transcripts have been finalized by the district office. Not all colleges require a mid-year report, but it is your responsibility to check to see if a college you are applying to/have been accepted to requires the mid-year report. If they do, here are the steps to request a mid-year report in Naviance:

1. Log in to ClassLink > Naviance-Stu
2. From Naviance Student, navigate to Colleges > Apply to College > Request Transcripts
3. Click the Add (Pink Plus)
4. Select either College Application Transcript or Other Transcript.
5. Follow the steps depending on the transcript selection (mid-year transcript).

You can also submit a request for your counselor to send a mid-year transcript/report here: www.bit.ly/MiltonMidYear

Thank you,

Milton Counseling
