Write "FINAL TRANSCRIPT" in capital letters across the top of the form and paperclip it to a stamped business sized envelope addressed to the college, with Berkeley High School (1980 Allston Way, Berkeley 94704) as the return address.  If you are under 18, a parent or guardian must sign the request form.  All colleges require that students send them a final transcript confirming their senior year grades.

2.  NOT HAPPY WITH YOUR COLLEGE CHOICES?  Your college advisor has a list of schools that are still accepting applications.

3.  Southwest Airlines and the Hispanic Association of Colleges and Universities (HACU) open travel program for college students - Dandole Alas a Tu Exito/Giving Flight to Your Success.  A panel of judges comprised of college professors and education advocates from coast to coast will gather in the summer to select the students who will receive free travel to their colleges and universities.  Each student is eligible to receive from one to four tickets that the student or an immediate family member can use in the Fall 2009 to travel to/from a college or university.  The travel tickets are awarded to undergraduate and graduate Hispanic students with socio-economic need who journey away from home to pursue higher education.  Essay required.
