HERE ARE SOME CHANGES:

·      Transcript:  Students do not have to submit an official transcript.  They may submit any other proof they have of their grades – for example, a print-out of grades from the schools website, report cards from each semester, or even a document that the student prepares that lists the courses that they have taken and their grades in each course.

·      Recommendations:  because the closure of schools, if students are not able to get a recommendation from a teacher or counselor, both letters of recommendation may be from any adult who knows the student well.
