    Submit Official Transcripts and Placement Test Scores

    Transcripts

    Official transcripts must be sent to 澳门黄金城赌城 directly from the high school and/or previous college(s) you attended. Transcripts are not processed until all are received. Once received, processing can take up to 7-10 business days or longer during peak registration periods.

    High School Transcripts

    Please provide an official high school transcript*, GED®, HSE, or adult high school diploma with the graduation date.

    High School Seniors

    High school seniors will need to send another official transcript after graduation with a posted graduation date.

    Homeschool Students

    The homeschool administrator must provide proof that the homeschool is certified by the North Carolina Department of Non-Public Instruction and standardized test scores.

    **If you will be graduating from one of our three county service area high schools, do not forget to complete your Central Carolina Promise (K14) Interest Form.**

    GED Transcripts

    If you earned a GED in North Carolina, you can request a copy of your GED transcript by completing the North Carolina Community Colleges GED Office form and mailing or faxing it to the NC GED office. Please note that 澳门黄金城赌城 cannot process requests for GED transcripts.

    College Transcripts

    If you have attended another college(s), please submit official college transcripts*.

    Learn how to check if your official transcript has been received and evaluated.

    You may send a physical copy of your sealed official transcript to the following address:
    Student Records & Registrar Office
    1105 Kelly Dr
    Sanford, NC 27330

    *A transcript is official when it is received by the college directly from the issuing institution in a sealed envelope or when sent electronically from a secure third-party document provider to admissions@soadonefnet.com. Homeschool transcripts require documentation of NCDNPE registration and two years of nationally standardized testing to be official.

    NOTE: All transcripts must be submitted if you are pursuing a limited enrollment program or if you are using veterans' benefits.

    Placement Test Scores

    Please submit any placement test scores received within the last ten years. 澳门黄金城赌城 accepts SAT, ACT, Asset, Compass, Accuplacer, NCDAP, and NROC's EdReady test scores. If you graduated high school in the last 10 years, your official high school transcript can be used to place you; however, prior placement test scores may qualify you at a higher level.
