Transcript Review

Transcript Review

Your transcript is divided by semester for each year

Pay attention to the class and the grade

If you are a new student who enrolled at the semester, your transcript may not have been evaluated yet. Don’t be alarmed, but you will have to use your memory to do your credit check

If you are a new student from another country, your grades were transcribed as “P” for pass

Transcript Review

Notice “WA HIST REQ MET” – This is listed at

the end of your transcript under

“ADDITIONAL STATE REQUIREMENTS.” You

should have completed this class in 8th

grade and while you don’t get numerical

credit for it, it does satisfy the state

requirement

Transcript Review

Note the “REPORT PERIOD AND CUMULATIVE

SUMMARY” section. This gives you your credits

earned and grade point average for each

semester.

The two most important numbers are in the last line

under “Cumulative Summary”. The first column,

“Credit Earned” gives the total number of credits

you have earned to date. The last column “GPA”

gives your cumulative grade point average to

date. This will change each semester.

Transcript Review

Under “ADDITIONAL STATE REQUIREMENTS” the district has not yet updated these requirements, so don’t worry if it says “NOT MET”

If you believe there is an error or you have a question about your transcript, meet with your counselor later this spring

High School & Beyond Plan will be marked as MET at the end of your senior year once all of your Career Cruising has been complete.

Credit Check

o Each graduating

class requires 24

credits to graduate

o Use your transcript

to complete your credit check form

Credit Check

Each box equals one semester or .5 credit

There are an appropriate number of boxes for

each subject area you need

For each semester class you have passed, cross

out one box next to the corresponding subject

If all the boxes next to a required subject area are

checked off, and you have completed an

additional class, it will count as elective credit

Circle the classes you are currently enrolled in this

semester

Credit Check

Decide what classes to request for next

year based on classes and credits you still

need; on the back of your registration form

is a list of elective classes

Remember, if you are enrolled in a world

language or math class and you wish to

continue, be sure to register for it next year

and don’t take a year off
