TRANSCRIPTS
 
  • MAHS Transcripts: There are 3 ways students can have high school transcripts sent to colleges and universities: 
  1. Common App - If you applied through Common App, add Mrs. Henson (Last Names A-K) or Mrs. Zurita (Last Names L-Z) as your counselor. They will upload your transcript as part of your School Report.
  2. College for North Carolina (CFNC) - Students can request to send their transcript to any North Carolina college or university through the CFNC Application Hub. Students should use this method if they are applying to a college or university in NC using a platform other than Common App.

  3. MAHS Website - For out-of-state colleges and universities not on the Common App, use THIS LINK to request your transcript.

  • Surry Community College Transcripts: If colleges are asking for your Surry Community College transcript, you have two options:
  1. Official Transcripts: Click Here to order online or visit the Information Desk in the 'A' Building at SCC.

  2. Unofficial Transcripts: Students can download an unofficial SCC transcript from their MyKnightLife account.
