SELF-REPORTED ACADEMIC RECORD (SRAR)
If you’re applying to college, you might come across a self-reported academic record (SRAR). This document comprises a comprehensive list of every course you’ve taken for high school credit and the corresponding grades you’ve received. It’s a crucial element of the college application process, allowing admissions officers to assess your academic abilities and potential. It’s critical to fill out this record accurately to ensure that it serves its purpose in the college application process.
When filling out the SRAR, it’s imperative to be precise. The SRAR is the institution’s initial impression of you as an applicant, and any errors or discrepancies can raise red flags.
Tips for Completing the SRAR:
*Pay close attention to the codes
*List EVERY class you earned credit for, including extracurricular classes
*List the classes exactly as they appear on your transcript
*Make sure you list the class in the correct semester (Example: If you took Health second semester, make sure you mark it as the second semester)
*Make sure you list the correct credit count:
English 4 (full-year class) is one credit, Government and Economics (1-semester classes) are .5 each
*Use a transcript to enter your coursework
*Have someone proof your SRAR before you submit
By following these tips, you can increase your chances of standing out to admissions officers and securing your spot at the institution of your choice.
