If for some reason the folder has been centralized then you need to e-mail the Records Liaison or Records Clerk and let them know to complete it. Do not reject it! If the information is requested via fax from another state then send it back via fax. Keep all fax confirmation forms with your records.

n.High school campus registrars must notify the records department of late graduates that have been updated with a graduation date after state testing

If the student receives a 40, 80 or 180 day placement, the files must be sent to the AlternativeCenter. If the file is not transferred due to a short term placement, the Alternative Center is responsible for taking all required documents to the home campus and placing the information in the student file
