All students are required to submit their final official high school and college transcripts. Official transcripts are those sent directly from the issuing institution. Final transcripts show grades in all coursework and graduation dates where applicable. Holy Family accepts official transcripts from most major third-party transcript servicers such as Parchment, the National Student Clearinghouse, Naviance, and SCOIR. Failure to submit official transcripts will result in a hold being placed on your account. Contact your admissions counselor with questions.

Holy Family accepts credits from the Advanced Placement Program of the College Entrance Examination Board and from International Baccalaureate. AP scores are requested at https://apstudents.collegeboard.org/sending-scores. IB transcripts should be directed to:
