Once a student is registered in our high school program, we begin compiling a transcript. Any credits earned from other sources, such as previous schools, are transferred into our school and become part of the student’s transcript at NARS.

In the halls of academia, transcripts are somewhat sacred. When students show up in the school office and ask for a copy of their transcripts, they are sometimes denied a copy until their parent or legal guardian fills out the appropriate release form. When students turn 18, then and only then will some schools allow them to authorize a release of their transcripts. But that’s not all.

Any copy of a transcript which does NOT bear the official, three-dimensional, embossed raised seal of the school is always considered to be UN-official. UN-official transcripts are always suspect -- in the hands of any person, they are subject to alteration, computer-generated tampering, etc.

Therefore, TWO important safeguards are in place to maintain the integrity of the transcript:

1. OFFICIAL transcripts are always mailed directly FROM one institution TO the other institution. They are never handed to a student to be delivered; they must arrive by the postal service or common courier.

2. OFFICIAL transcripts are always signed by a school official and bear the embossed, raised three-dimensional corporate seal of the institution somewhere on the page.

NARS serves its students well, providing official and UN-official transcripts as appropriate. And so far, we offer this service at no cost to the family.
