You may request a fee waiver from your counselor by making an appointment. Please allow 48 hours for the request to be processed. Not every student needs to take the SAT/ACT; make an appointment to see your counselor to find out your options.

How do I send my SAT/ACT scores to colleges?
You must request official results to be sent to the colleges of your choice through the respected websites for a fee if you did not send them when you initially signed up for the test. Scores are not official unless they come directly from the testing agency.

How can I send a transcript to my colleges?
If you are sending a transcript to any school within Georgia, please use GAFutures.org or Naviance to send transcripts.
If you are sending transcripts to schools outside of Georgia, it is the responsibility of each student to mail his/her transcripts. Students requesting transcripts must complete a form in the Records Office stating the number of transcripts needed. Each transcript will be “officially” sealed in an envelope that must not be opened by the student for it to remain official. The cost is $5.00 for each requested transcript. Please allow 3-5 days for completion of your request.

If you need a letter of recommendation, please send a resume/brag sheet (may use the brag sheet linked below) outlining all of your outstanding achievements, exceptional life circumstances (if any), extracurricular activities in and out of school, future goals, and any other information you feel is important for us to know. Also, please include what you need the recommendation for. Filling out this form will help your counselor be able to write a better letter of recommendation. All recommendations will be completed in 10 school days, so please plan accordingly for the deadlines.
