Official Transcript Submission Guidelines
To ensure the integrity of your academic records, Excel High School requires official transcripts directly from your previous school. Follow these guidelines for a smooth transcript submission process:
U.S. Schools: Transcripts must be sent directly from the school via email, mail, or fax.
Non-U.S. Schools: Transcripts must go through an evaluation process (e.g., Scholaro) to convert international credits to the U.S. system.
Transcripts from students will not be accepted unless they are sealed and mailed directly to Northgate Academy.
Transcripts are required for credit transfer evaluation and class placement.
Important Note: Northgate Academy can only accept official transcripts
How to Submit Transcripts and Transfer Credits to Excel High School
Transferring your credits to Excel High School is simple and streamlined. Whether you’re coming from a U.S. school, a non-U.S. school, or a homeschool program, we provide clear instructions to ensure your transcripts are processed efficiently. Follow the steps below to submit your transcripts and get started with your educational journey at Excel.
Step 1: Request Your Transcript
Contact your previous school or visit their website to learn how to request your transcript. Each school may have its own process for accessing and sending transcripts, so make sure to follow their specific instructions.
Step 2: Organize Your Information
Use the Transcript Request Worksheet to gather all the necessary details, such as your name, date of birth, and student ID, to ensure your school can locate your transcript. This will help streamline the process and avoid any delays.
Step 3: Send the Transcript
Ask your previous school to send the official transcript directly to Excel High School via one of the following methods:
- Email: records@excelhighschool.com
- Fax: 952-465-3701
- Mail: Excel High School, 601 Carlson Parkway, Suite 1250, Minnetonka, MN 55305, USA
Keep in mind that unofficial transcripts submitted by students will not be accepted.
Step 4: Allow Time for Processing
Once Excel High School receives your transcript, please allow up to 5 business days for processing. You will receive an email confirmation once your transcript is on file. If you’ve already enrolled and made your first payment, your transcript will be sent to the auditing department for credit evaluation.
Step 1: Collect Your Records
Gather your transcripts from all the schools you attended during grades 9-12. Ensure that the records are clear and preferably in PDF format to streamline the evaluation process.
Step 2: Submit to Evaluation Service
Upload your transcripts to Scholaro or another approved evaluation service for a course-by-course assessment. This evaluation will convert your international credits to U.S. standards.
Step 3: Wait for the Evaluation
Once you’ve submitted your transcripts to Scholaro, it typically takes 10 business days to receive the evaluation if you selected the “No Rush” option. Scholaro will send the evaluation directly to Excel High School’s registrar.
Step 4: Allow Time for Processing
After receiving your evaluation, the Excel High School registrar will notify you by email. Please allow 5-7 business days for the credits to be processed and transferred. Keep in mind, the total credits may change after conversion to the U.S. system.
Step 1: Complete the Homeschool Portfolio
Fill out the Homeschool Portfolio form with detailed information about your coursework, materials used, and educational history. This will help Excel High School evaluate your homeschool credits for transfer.
Step 2: Submit the Portfolio
Email the completed Homeschool Portfolio to records@excelhighschool.com for evaluation. Ensure all relevant documentation is included to avoid delays in the evaluation process.
Step 3: Allow Time for Review
Once the portfolio has been submitted, Excel High School will take 5-7 business days to review and evaluate your credits. Credits are transferred on a case-by-case basis, and you’ll be notified once the evaluation is complete.
Step 4: Contact Your Success Coach
If you have questions or need assistance with your homeschool credit transfer, reach out to your success coach, who will guide you through the process.
