Self-reported Course Work

How you fill out this form does not make or break your application.  Don’t stress out about exactly how to fill this out.  Use your best judgment—we’re just trying to get a clear picture of your academic preparation by subject area.  We see thousands of different transcripts, so it really helps us to view your course work and grades in a consistent format.

Here are some tips and instructions to help you complete this form:

• To be completed by students in U.S. school systems only.
• The information you provide does not replace your official high school transcript, which must be sent to us from your school.
• It might help to have a copy of your high school transcript in front of you while completing this form.  Consult your guidance counselor if you have questions.
• Avoiding abbreviations, if at all possible, enter the names of your school courses by subject area.  Please include all classes you have taken and are currently taking.
• If there aren’t enough spaces for all the courses you have taken, start with your most recent (current) class and work backwards.  You can also use the “Additional courses” section as an overflow section for any of the subject areas.
• If your courses were taken outside of your high school (at a local junior college or university, or online, for example), tell us where they were taken in the “Course Title” field (e.g., edX, Coursera, EPGY, Florida Virtual HS, etc.).
• In the “Course Grade(s)” field, list your grades for each class, as found on your school transcript (semester, trimester, quarter, final, etc.).
• Use one line only per class—for example, it’s not necessary to use a separate line for each semester of the same class.  Place all grades for a class in the same field, separating grades with commas.
• For current or future classes, indicate when the class will be taken in the "Course Title" field (for example, "Fall", "Spring", "2nd semester", etc.).
