Transcript Requests
The process for obtaining school transcripts
Transcript Requests (Current Students)
Transcripts
Step 1: Complete the required forms. If you are under the age of 18 at the time transcripts are being requested, your parent/guardian must sign the transcript request form and the FCPS IS-111 release form. All fields must be completed and both forms submitted to Ms. O'Hara, Transcript Specialist, before any records can be released to a college, employer, or scholarship organization. If you are applying to more than 10 colleges, you will need to submit a second transcript request form.
Step 2: Submit forms in advance of all deadlines. Please address all requests to Ms. O'Hara, Transcript Specialist, at @email . Allow a minimum of three weeks before the first college application deadline for processing your request. Allow a minimum of two weeks for any transcripts needed for scholarship applications.
Step 3: Make your payment. Current seniors receive three college transcripts for free, and MVHS waives the transcript fee for any transcript needed to support a scholarship application. Each additional college transcript request is $5.00. Payment is preferred by credit card at https://www.myschoolbucks.com/. You may also pay by cash or check made payable to Mount Vernon High School. Write the student's name and ID number on the memo line. All fees must be paid before any transcript requests are processed. Fees are waived for qualifying Free and Reduced Meals (FRM) students.
To pay via MySchoolBucks:
1.Log in to your account, go to "School Store" and "Browse All Items."
2.Check the "Mount Vernon High" box if needed.

Counselor Recommendations

Step 3: Send your counselor an email that you have completed the survey and specify if a Secondary School Report is also needed.
Step 4: Your counselor will upload the completed document(s) in Naviance for Ms. O'Hara, Transcript Specialist, to send with your transcript.
