FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions 

 

How much does it cost for member schools to store transcripts?
ACSI member schools are provided this service as a benefit of ACSI membership.
How and where are the transcripts filed?

ACSI maintains transcripts in separate files by name of school and year of graduation. These files are permanently housed at ACSI Headquarters and maintained by the Global office.

What should the transcript look like?
Transcripts should be one-page (front and back) if possible and issued as official with the proper signatures, graduation date, school name and address, and school seal or logo which can be seen when copied. If the school is accredited, all accreditation stamps must be visible on the transcript. Universities and the military reject transcripts without proper authorization. Please be sure that the transcript has the student’s official name on it and not a nickname.
Whose transcripts should the school send? 
Please send transcript copies each year for all graduates. You may also send all student records for those who have withdrawn prior to graduating.
What if our school is closing permanently?
Schools may send electronic copies of original transcripts, report cards, and student health records. ACSI will maintain these on a permanent basis. School closure due to unforeseen circumstances (political or natural disaster): ACSI will maintain the original transcripts for all students currently enrolled in the school and all students who have graduated, transferred, or withdrawn from the school until such time as the crisis is past and school reopens. 
What should our packet of transcripts include?

1) A school profile sheet—all international schools do not have the same weight for scores. The school profile sheet makes it easier for institutions to determine the information they need based on the school’s criteria.

2) A separate sheet with a list of the students’ names as they are filed. The transcripts need to be filed in alphabetical order by the student’s last name. Transcripts need to have the student’s official name on it. Please do not use nicknames, as most universities will not accept them. It also needs to have the appropriate signatures, seal, or logo. See the section "What should the transcript look like."

When should I send the transcripts to ACSI? 

Please send transcripts as soon after graduation as possible. Many students request transcripts at the end of the school year in order to meet university and scholarship application deadlines.
