Once course work is completed and a grade is assigned, the student should request that an official transcript be sent to his/her home university. Please see the sub-section "Transcripts" at the Policies and Procedures for instructions.

Sophomores/rising juniors should also provide a letter of recommendation from a teacher or guidance counselor. Please refer to our Pre-College Program description for more details. Please note that approval to take a summer class does not imply admission to any school within the University.
