FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

• What is the Self-reported Academic Record (SSAR-SRAR)?
  SSAR-SRAR is a self-reported student academic record that lists all courses and associated grades that have been attempted, or will be attempted, for high school and/or college credit. Since accuracy is critical, you must have a copy of your high school transcript available to use as a reference when you create your SSAR-SRAR. You may also use your College Map Mentor's Academic Organizer. Be sure to indicate any courses taken through an online school like FLVS.

• When do I create my SSAR-SRAR?
  The SSAR website becomes available in August, prior to the start of your senior year. You may begin your admissions application prior to completing your SSAR-SRAR. If you decide to submit your SSAR before submitting your application for admission, you will not be able to link your SSAR-SRAR to your application until your application has been submitted. Just remember, your application for admission is incomplete and will not be reviewed until your SSAR and test scores have been received. 

• How do I enter my grades on the SSAR-SRAR?
  The SSAR-SRAR collects grades on a semester basis. You should report all grades exactly as they are listed on your transcript. You will use the Course Level field on the SSAR-SRAR to indicate the type of course (e.g., honors, AP, dual enrollment, etc.). Please refer to the following examples to guide your grade submission. If your high school transcript has:

• Only semester grades: enter your semester grades as shown on your transcript.

• Only final grades: enter the final grade twice (first semester and second semester) for yearlong courses (one credit), and once for semester-long courses (1/2 credit). For example, if you earned a grade of B in Algebra I which is a yearlong course (1 credit), enter that grade twice (first semester and second semester).

• Both semester grades and final grades: use the final grade. For example, if you took Algebra I earning an A in the first semester and a B in the second semester with your final grade being a B, enter a grade of B twice (first semester and second semester).

• Both trimester grades and final grades: use the final grade. If the course is yearlong, enter the final grade twice. If the course is only for one trimester, enter the grade in either the first or second semester.

• Block scheduling: you are completing a yearlong course (one credit) in one semester and a semester-long course (1/2 credit) in nine weeks. A one credit course will be entered twice (first semester and second semester), and a 1/2 credit course will be entered once.

• Dual-enrollment courses: you must self-report all college courses' grades listed on your transcript. If your course is one credit in high school, enter the grade twice (first semester and second semester). If your course is 1/2 credit, enter the grade once.

• Numerical grades: you must convert to A-F grades using your high school grading scale.

If your transcript does not fall into one of the above categories, please email the Office of Admissions.

• How do I report my senior coursework?
  You should list your senior-year classes as "In Progress" since you will have no grades associated with them. If your schedule changes, you must immediately update your SSAR. To make changes, simply log in to the SSAR website with the email address and password used to create your original SSAR-SRAR.

• How do I enter my college (dual enrollment) classes and grades?
  You must self-report all college courses' grades listed on your transcript. If your course is one credit in high school, enter the grade twice (first semester and second semester). If your course is 1/2 credit, enter the grade once. You will then select "dual enrollment" under the course level field.

• Do I report all the classes taken and grades earned that are reflected on my transcript?
  All attempted coursework must be listed on the SSAR, including repeated coursework or coursework that receives pass/fail grades.

• Can I change the SSAR-SRAR once it is completed?
  Yes. We want your SSAR-SRAR to be as accurate as possible so, if you have corrections or your schedule changes, we encourage you to update your SSAR-SRAR. To make changes, log in to the SSAR-SRAR website with the email address and password used to create your original SSAR-SRAR.

• What if I am unsure about the dual enrollment classes that I will be taking during the second semester of my senior year?
  You should provide the best estimation of what classes you will be taking when completing the SSAR. If your schedule changes, you will be able to update the SSAR-SRAR. If the correct information is not listed on your SSAR when we validate your classes and grades from your official high school and college transcripts, your admission is subject to revocation and, if discovered after classes begin, cancellation of registration.

• When do I send my official high school and college (if dual enrolled) transcripts?
  All applicants will be required to submit official high school and college transcripts. These transcripts will be used to validate the information on the SSAR. Students with inaccurate SSARs will be contacted and their admission is subject to revocation and, if discovered after classes begin, cancellation of registration. All applicants offered admission will be required to submit final and official transcripts by July 15th.
