Plan ahead! This can take six weeks. (SAT: www.collegeboard.com or www.act.org).

Step 3: Request teacher recommendations (if required) at least four weeks ahead of deadlines. Colleges prefer everything to come in together (or it may get lost) – therefore whenever possible, include teacher recommendations with your transcript request packet. Each recommendation should be in a sealed envelope with the teacher’s name signed on the back flap.

Step 4: For counselor recommendations, provide a resume to your counselor and give it to your counselor at least two weeks before the college deadline date

Step 6: Prepare an envelope addressed to the university/college. Affix at least two first class stamps to the upper right corner. Affix additional stamps if students include any additional documents required by the college, such as teacher recommendations, essays, resume, resident card, etc.

Step 7: Complete the Transcript Request form on the back side of this sheet. Attach this form and the transcript fee to the envelope. Double check your packet for completeness and accuracy before turning it your counselor.
