How to Tell Naviance You Completed a Course: A Guide for the Perplexed
Alright, let’s talk about Naviance. You know, that magical online portal that’s supposed to guide you through the treacherous waters of college applications. It’s like a GPS for your future, except instead of telling you to turn left at the next gas station, it tells you to “Request Transcripts” and “Update Application Status.”
But here’s the thing: sometimes Naviance can be as confusing as trying to decipher a medieval scroll written in Aramaic. Especially when it comes to telling them you’ve actually finished a course. You’re like, “Hey, Naviance, I’m done with this class, it’s time to move on!” But Naviance is all, “Uh, what is a course? Do you mean a ‘Request Transcript’?”
Well, fret no more, my fellow education adventurers! This guide is here to break down the mystical art of telling Naviance that you’ve conquered a course, and emerged victorious with a shiny new letter grade.
The Quest for the Missing Course
First things first, let’s address the elephant in the room. Why would Naviance even need to know you’ve finished a course? Well, think of it like this: Naviance is your academic overlord, constantly monitoring your progress and making sure you’re on the right track. They need to know what you’ve learned so they can help you navigate the treacherous landscape of college applications.
Now, if you’re looking to update your course list with those hard-earned grades, here’s what you gotta do:
- Log into your Naviance account. This is the first step, the gateway to the digital world of college applications.
- Click on “Courses” at the top of your homepage. This is where you’ll find your list of completed courses and their corresponding grades.
- Click on “Home”. This will take you back to your main Naviance dashboard.
- Click on “Colleges I’m Applying To” tab. (You can find it under the “Colleges” tab). This is where you can see all the colleges you’ve applied to and manage your application status.
- Select the “Result” dropdown. This dropdown menu, located next to the college’s name, holds the power to convey your acceptance (or rejection).
- Select “Accepted” if you have been accepted to the school. This is a crucial step, as it’s the signal that tells Naviance to send your final transcript to the college.
The Power of the Transcript
Now, why is that final transcript so important? Well, it’s like a sacred scroll that holds the key to your academic destiny. It’s the official document that proves you’ve completed high school and are ready to embark on the next chapter of your life – college!
To ensure your transcript gets sent to the right place, you need to follow a few more steps within Naviance:
- Go to “Colleges I’m Applying To” tab. This is where you’ll find all the colleges you’ve applied to.
- Click on the “EDIT” button of the school you need to update. This will allow you to make changes to your application status.
- Select the college you plan to attend and click “update”. This will update your application status and inform Naviance that you’ve made your decision.
Requesting Your Final Transcript
Now that you’ve told Naviance which college you’re attending, it’s time to request your final transcript. This is the last step in the process and it ensures that your academic record is sent to the college so they can officially welcome you to their hallowed halls.
- Go to “Transcripts” on the left side under “Resources”. This is where you’ll find all the transcript-related options.
- Click on “Request Transcripts for College Applications”. This will take you to the transcript request page.
- Click “Request Transcripts” then check the box next to each college to “Add Request”. This will add the colleges to your transcript request list.
- Click “Request Transcripts” at the bottom of the page to finalize your request.
