Requesting Transcripts for College Applications

HCPSS uses Naviance to manage requests for transcripts, as well as to submit them to colleges and universities on behalf of current students. All current HCPSS high school students have an account in Naviance, which can be accessed from the hcpss.me webpage.

Transcripts are free. Students are asked to include all of your colleges in Naviance, even ones that don’t require a transcript.

Common App Schools

  1. Create an account at commonapp.org.
  2. In common app, complete the Profile and the Education section.
  3. Go to the My Colleges tab and add all the colleges you plan to apply to. Note! You also can add or remove colleges at a later time.
  4. Select the deadline you intend to use. This will sync with Naviance and will be used by teachers and counselors.
  5. Pick one college to expand (does not matter which), click on Recommenders and FERPA, and complete the FERPA.
  6. In Naviance, go to Colleges I am Applying To and click match common app to Naviance. Follow the instructions to match common app and Naviance.

Once matched, Common App and Naviance automatically sync so any school that you add to Common App will be added to your Naviance account and sent to the respective college.

Non-Common App Schools

  1. Login to Naviance
  2. Go to the Colleges tab and select Colleges I’m Applying To.
  3. Click on the blue plus sign (+) in the upper right corner.
  4. Begin adding colleges to the search bar that reads “which college are you applying to.” Be sure to select the correct school and city.
    • Example: If you are applying to UMBC, be sure to select University of Maryland, Baltimore County and NOT University of Maryland, Baltimore.
    • If you do not have a firm list of colleges you are applying to, add the colleges you know. You can add more later.
  5. Under App Type, select the intended deadline for your application. Students MUST also verify that the deadline in Naviance matches the deadline on the college website.
  6. Under I’ll Submit my Application, select Direct to the Institution.
  7. Under Are you planning to submit your SAT or ACT scores to be considered, select your current plan. NOTE! This is only used by Naviance for data collection. Students are responsible for sending test scores directly to colleges.
  8. Ignore the box for I’ve submitted my application.
  9. Select Add Application
  10. Repeat the above for every school that you plan to apply to.

Requesting Transcripts for Purposes Other Than Applying to College

Students who need an official transcript for a purpose other than applying to college (i.e.: internship, scholarships, jobs, military, athletics) should visit their school’s Canvas page or speak directly to their school’s registrar.

Obtaining Unofficial Transcripts

Students can obtain unofficial transcripts by going to hcpss.me, logging into Synergy using their active directory, and looking under “report cards.”

HCPSS is now using ScribOrder to fulfill all transcript and diploma requests for previous graduates as well as graduation, diploma and education verification.
