Senior Video
We will be recording a short video of each student on April 27 during study halls. On that day, seniors should BRING A SWEATSHIRT (to put on over your uniform) OR COLLEGE PENNANT with the name of the school they are attending. We understand if your final decision hasn’t been made by April 27. Please come see one of the counselors or Mrs. Klein to discuss your individual situation.
College Signing Day - April 30
All seniors are invited to participate in Mercy’s Annual College Signing Day on Friday, April 30. Students are encouraged to wear their future college t-shirt with their uniform and come to the library to celebrate. Event times will be announced. During the event students will also have the opportunity to write thank you notes to those who have written letters of recommendation and/or those who supported you during your education. See the counselors with any questions or concerns.

Transcripts - Final and Dual Enrollment
The college you plan to attend will ask for your FINAL TRANSCRIPT. We will send final transcripts based on your submission on the Future Plans form only, https://forms.gle/iDZGFuBW6j1ScvoQ7

If you have taken classes and received Dual Enrollment credit YOU will need to contact each individual school and request to have your official transcript(s) sent to college you will be attending in the fall. Mercy does not have access to college transcripts. 
If you are attending a college in the fall where you completed a Dual Enrollment course, you do not need request a transcript for that school (EX: If you took Spanish through UNO and you are attending UNO in the fall).  
You will have the option to send your transcripts now (if the class is complete) or wait until the end of the semester (if you are still taking a dual enrollment course). 
Scholarships and Final Transcripts
April 28 is the deadline to submit scholarship awards to be included in the Catholic Voice. We will continue to accept scholarships for the overall total and the graduation program.

The college you plan to attend will ask for your FINAL TRANSCRIPT. We will send final transcripts based on your submission on the Future Plans form only, see link below.

The deadline to submit scholarships for the graduation program is May 5.
