  • Official District Transcripts
    Official District Transcripts Important Transcript Request Information via www.GAfutures.org District students request transcripts for Board of Regents (in-state) universities and colleges and Technical College System of Georgia technical colleges through their My GAfutures account on GAfutures. Once a student makes this request, the counselor reviews and fulfills this request electronically. After the counselor fulfills the request, the transcript(s) is delivered to the postsecondary school(s) that the student has authorized/requested. The MyGAfutures account should not be used by students who need transcripts sent to NCAA (National Collegiate Athletic Association). This feature is currently unavailable in GAfutures. Seniors use this process. In addition, district students interested in a Dual Enrollment/Move On When Ready opportunity also use this process. Very Important: Final transcripts for Seniors (early to mid-June) will be sent to in-state schools through the MyGAfutures transcript(s) request process. Therefore, a Senior must request the final transcript for in-state schools using his/her MyGAfutures account to request that the final transcript is “fulfilled” by his/her school counselor. Seniors are to only request that a paper copy of the official transcript be processed when the purpose of the transcript is to meet admissions requirements for out-of-state college or university, to complete documentation for a scholarship(s), and/or to provide to a potential employer or the military. Any transcript questions/issues should be addressed by the student with the school counselor. HOPE Transcripts HOPE transcripts are available for all district students within 30 days of the close of each semester after transcript history is posted to district transcripts.
