If you are taking college courses, please submit an official "in progress" transcript from the college. Also, request that all "final" official transcripts be sent to Point Loma after graduation.
  2. Transfers — have your "final" official transcripts sent from all colleges/universities previously attended. If you are currently in college, have an "in progress" official transcript sent now and a "final" official transcript sent when the term or semester is complete. If you have completed fewer than 36 transferable semester units, please request "final" high school official transcripts along with SAT or ACT scores.
