Padua Franciscan will supply final transcripts free of charge within one year of graduation to all students who are applying to college, provided all financial obligations have been met. All other requests after graduation incur a $5.00 fee for each transcript copy issued. An Official Transcript Request form is available on our website under the “Alumni” tab. If a third party requests transcript information, the student will be notified prior to the transcript being produced.
No transcripts or records are released without the consent of the parent (prior to graduation) or the student. Transcripts, other than final copies after graduation, may be obtained by request to the assigned counselor and only after all financial obligations to Padua Franciscan are fulfilled. Transcripts may be either official or unofficial at the discretion of the counselor. All college and most scholarship applications automatically include a request for an official transcript. The student’s signature on the application for a college and/or scholarship constitutes permission to release the transcript. Students applying online to colleges or scholarships must complete a “transcript release” form with the Counseling Department Secretary before transcripts will be sent to colleges/scholarship providers to complete online applications.
Padua Franciscan High School normally provides transcripts to colleges electronically. These transcripts do not include either ACT or SAT test scores. It is the responsibility of the student to ensure that all colleges and other applicable agencies receive a copy of their individual test scores.
TRAVEL OPPORTUNITIES FOR STUDENTS
Annually, Padua offers international and domestic tours for students, normally through a third party. Detailed information about these trips is provided at the initial meeting. They normally take place either during spring break or summer vacation. Students participating in these trips are subject to the same rules and regulations as for a field trip. In addition, all financial obligations to Padua must be current before a student may take part in these trips. Foreign language trips are open to second, third, and fourth year language students who are taking or who have taken the language which is offering the trip. The administration makes the final decisions on the eligibility of all student participants. Students who have already graduated will not be permitted to participate in any travel opportunity. In most cases this rule also applies to students on disciplinary probation.
