Transcript Information

An official transcript has the school seal imprint on it with the Registrar’s signature. An unofficial transcript has neither the seal nor the signature. Transcripts that are faxed or emailed are typically considered to be unofficial, though an emailed transcript may be considered official if sent directly from Seton to the institution.

Transcripts report grades and credit earned at the semester (quarter grades are not reported), and un-weighted cumulative percentage averages, as well as unweighted and weighted GPAs. Neither disciplinary nor attendance records are part of the student’s transcript. Students are responsible for sending their ACT and SAT scores to the prospective colleges/universities and the NCAA Eligibility Center.

For some universities and the NCAA Eligibility Center, students who transferred to Seton during high school will need to request official copies of their previous high school transcript and have those directly sent to college/universities. New transfer students should also request a Seton transcript that will verify their Seton enrollment status for college admissions offices.

Who can request transcripts?

Students or their parent/guardian may request in writing that an official transcript be sent to another institution. Graduates under the age of 18 or their parent/guardian may also request the sending of official transcripts. Once graduates reach the age of 18, only they can authorize, in writing, the release of transcripts. The parents/guardians of a current student, no matter the student’s age, can authorize the release of transcripts. These same restrictions also apply to the unofficial transcripts.

Note: Transcript requests that are submitted during the December break will NOT be processed until school resumes in January.

Transcripts for current Seton seniors

Transcripts for current seniors are submitted electronically to colleges via Naviance, our college software program. Electronic transcripts are requested through Naviance as follows:

Requesting transcripts through Naviance Student (current seniors only)

• At the beginning of the school year, complete and submit the Transcript Release Authorization.

• In Naviance, select “colleges I’m applying to” and add all colleges to which you are applying
• Click “Manage Transcripts”, select schools to which transcripts are to be sent and choose the type of transcript you are requesting (initial, midyear, final).
• Each student’s first transcript is free and a fee of $2.00 is charged for each additional transcript. Charges can be viewed in Naviance. Transcript fees accrued over the semester will be billed through FACTS to be paid prior to semester finals.

Note: Transcript requests that are submitted during the December break will NOT be processed until school resumes in January.

Requests for non-seniors and/or official transcripts for other purposes (e.g., scholarship requests, summer program applications) must be submitted to the Registrar in writing. (See the Current Student Transcript Request Form.)
