    MID-YEAR TRANSCRIPT REQUESTS

    Some colleges and universities require a mid-year (7th semester) transcript as part of the application process. If a school you have applied to falls into this category, and you have already requested your original transcript, then please use the Mid-Year Transcript Request Form to ask us to send the updated transcript after the end of the first semester.
