Info for Seniors:
Requesting a Transcript
This must be done in Naviance/Family Connection. You may find more information on the EHS Counseling website by clicking here.
Naviance Helpful Hints
In order for transcripts to be sent using Naviance, students will need to do two things.
- Under Colleges - Select "colleges that you are applying to" button. Once you select this link, it will take you to a page with all the schools that you are interested in applying to for the fall of 2018.
- After you have selected the schools that you have applied to, you can now request the transcript.
**Transcripts will only be sent to schools that you have selected both the applied button and request a transcript button.
When using the Common Application to apply to a school:
Students will have to match Naviance with the Common Application. The match will be located on Naviance under the tab for colleges you are applying. Students will have to use their personal email to match the two systems. It should be the email that was used on the Common Application.
**Please allow two weeks for transcripts to be sent to your school of choice.
For letters of recommendation
Please give counselors two weeks to write and send your letter of recommendation. Most Common Application schools will require a letter of recommendation from your counselor. Please email your counselor your resume or fill out the appropriate document that your counselor has requested.
We want to celebrate you and your accomplishments!!!
As you begin receiving college acceptances and scholarship offers, please bring a copy of your letters to Mrs. Elifrits in the Counseling Center. You may also email a copy to
lisa.elifrits@nisdtx.org. This is for all colleges/scholarships, not just the ones you accept. Also, if you are planning to join the military, please stop by and let us know which branch and your recruiter's name. Thank you!
