Form to Ms. Mellion in D173 so that we can send an official transcript to the

grades. MANY SCHOOLS WILL RESCIND YOUR ADMISSION IF THEY DO NOT RECEIVE YOUR

out. If you are under 18, a parent or guardian must sign the request form; b)
Paperclip it to a stamped business size envelope addressed to the college,

print out the Final Report form and attach it to the outside of the envelope.
Some schools have their own final report form, which you can use instead. No
