Our Tracking Sheets | For All College Applications
Transcript Request Form
If you are applying to college and need official transcripts to complete the application process, students must submit a transcript request form (formerly known as the green sheet) to Mrs. Bauer in the counseling office, or via email at bauermr@staffordschools.net. You may pickup a transcript request form in the counseling office, or use the fillable PDF form located at the bottom of this page in the College/University Downloadable Files section. A form must be completed and submitted for each college students apply to (DO NOT put multiple colleges on one form, each form is for 1 college only), after the student has submitted their transcript requests in Naviance.
The transcript request form serves as the student’s formal written request for an official transcript, a school profile (which explains to the college about our school and the rigor of our courses and grading system), letter(s) of recommendation, and required secondary/counselor forms (to be completed by the student). It also allows us to facilitate on-time applications, by gathering the necessary paperwork, and tracking your college application.
Transcript requests are FREE unless transcripts and/or several supporting documents are required by the college/university to be sent via USPS mail. Cost of mailed documents: $2.00.
Transcript request forms are to be submitted to Mrs. Bauer in the counseling office or via email to bauermr@staffordschools.net 10 full schools days prior to the official college application deadline. There are no exceptions.
Senior Brag Packet and Letters of Recommendation
All seniors are strongly urged to complete a senior brag packet questionnaire, and turn it into Mrs. Bauer in the counseling office, or via email at bauermr@staffordschools.net. The senior brag packet questionnaire can be picked up in the counseling office, or use the fillable PDF form located at the bottom of this page in the College/University Downloadable Files section. The form, completed thoughtfully, assists teachers and others writing letters of recommendation on your behalf for college applications and scholarships.
Only one questionnaire needs to be completed. It is the student's responsibility to request the questionnaire be sent to anyone the student has asked for a letter of recommendation from, though, students are encouraged to email the questionnaire themselves to those individuals, soon (preferably immediately) after making the request. Students should also be requesting their letters of recommendation through Naviance.
Requests for letters of recommendation need to be submitted to the individual writing the letter two (2) weeks prior to the college application deadline.
Scholarship Tracking Sheet
For students who are applying for scholarships requiring a transcript, a Scholarship Tracking Form (formerly known as the yellow form) must be submitted to Mrs. Bauer in the counseling office or via email at bauermr@staffordschools.net. The form is now a fillable PDF file, located at the bottom of this page in the College/University Downloadable Files section, or a paper copy can be picked up in the counseling office. Transcript requests are FREE unless transcripts and/or several supporting documents are required by the scholarship committee to be sent via USPS mail. Cost of mailed documents: $2.00.The tracking sheets are due to Mrs. Bauer in the counseling office or by email at bauermr@staffordschools.net. Processing time of 10 days is requested, when possible.
