Official transcripts must be sent to 推荐正规买球平台 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.

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