Official High School Transcript Policy
In accordance with 34 CFR 668.16(p), McMurry ensures the validity of a student’s high school completion by requiring official transcripts to be received directly from the student’s high school (via electronic submission or postal mail) or delivered enclosed in a sealed school envelope. If necessary, McMurry may contact the high school directly to confirm the validity of the documentation provided or may contact the relevant department or agency in the state to ensure the validity of the high school’s secondary school education status.
