• Transcripts |
Request a Transcript Current and former ADMHS students may request official transcripts by using this link. NOTE: current/active ADMHS students may access unofficial transcripts via the Infinite Campus portal (student) or (parent). |
What is the difference between an Official Transcript and an Unofficial Transcript?An Official Transcript is generally what is required from colleges/universities, employers, and other institutions. It must be obtained from the ADM HS Counseling Office, where it is signed by a designated official, and a raised school seal is then applied over the signature. These are most-often sent directly to the institution requesting them. If, however, they are sent to the student/graduate, they will be in a sealed envelope with an official signature. These must remain sealed in order to maintain their Official status, as once they have been opened they become Unofficial. An Unofficial Transcript will not be signed or sealed by a school official, and is generally used for informational purposes for the student/graduate. (In some cases Unofficial Transcripts are acceptable for scholarship and other award applications, but requirements vary). DMACC transcripts/credit transfers may be requested by the student at this link: DMACC Transcript. |
