How do I see my guidance counselor?

Counselors are present from 7:30 a.m. - 3:30 p.m.  Schedule an 
appointment with your counselor through Mrs. Diamond, Guidance
Secretary. She will issue a pass to be signed by your classroom
teacher. If you need to come to Guidance during a class period
and without an appointment, you must bring a pass from your
teacher.

How do I send my transcript to a college/university?

By filling out a Transcript Request Form.  This form can be found 
in the Guidance Office or by clicking on the link "Transcript
Request Form" on the guidance website. A parent's signature is
required if you are under 18 years of age. There is a $5.00
processing fee per transcript. This can be paid in cash or by a
check made payable to Marian Central. PLEASE ALLOW AT LEAST TEN
(10) SCHOOL DAYS TO PROCESS TRANSCRIPT REQUESTS.

How do I request a teacher recommendation?

By approaching them in person.  It is helpful to give them 
something in writing that lists the college(s) you are applying
to along with any deadlines. Also, giving them a resume or
listing of your extracurricular activities is helpful. Be
considerate and give your teachers plenty of time (at least 3
weeks is suggested)! Teachers will then forward their
recommendations to the guidance office where they will be kept on
file and sent to the colleges that need them. These
recommendations are confidential, so you won't be allowed to view
them. Don't forget to formally thank your teachers for taking the
time to provide a professional letter of recommendation.

Can I submit the same teacher recommendation to more than one college/university?

Yes.  Once recommendations have been submitted to Mrs. Diamond 
she keeps them on file and can send them to as
many schools as requested.

Are ACT/SAT scores included on my transcript?

If you requested at the time of registering for the ACT/SAT test 
that your scores be sent to Marian, then yes, they are included on
your transcript. If you would NOT like them included, you must
inform guidance. Also, please be aware that some colleges and
universities require that ACT/SAT scores be sent directly
from the testing agency. Be sure and check with the schools
you are applying to regarding their policy.
