No. Transcripts should not be sent during the review process. After submitting the Coalition Application, the next step is to complete the (SRAR) where you will list all completed, in-progress, and planned college level work from any institution attended, as well as any available final grades (including Fall 2018). The SRAR must be completed and submitted for your application to be considered complete.
While high school coursework and grades are not considered in the review process for transfers, a system limitation with the SRAR is requiring some applicants to list their high school information and at least one course from each year they attended high school. If you are unable to submit without including high school information, please add your high school and list at least one course and grade for each year of high school. Again, this high school course information will not be considered in the review process.
The best way to report completed DE work is to note it under the college/university that awarded the credit. You should add this institution in the SRAR and note the DE coursework under the appropriate year and term completed.
AP and IB credit will be awarded by the Registrar as detailed in this helpful . We encourage applicants to report all available AP/IB exams scores so that we can note the completion of prerequisite coursework through earned credit. You will enter these scores on the “Exams” section of the SRAR. Please note you will have to have a date of attendance corresponding to the exam date, which means entering your basic high school information and some coursework (see FAQ 5 above for help with this).
