Setting Up SRAR Lab (for Class of '25)

***Exclusively for Access College America scholars***

The Self-Reported Academic Record (SRAR) is an online system used in place of a high school (secondary school) transcript which allows first-year applicants attending a U.S. high school to self-report all courses and grades earned from grades 9 through 12. With a variety of grading scales across the country, the SRAR allows us to automatically recalculate and weigh student GPAs to ensure equal consideration is given to each applicant’s academic profile. Some schools that use the SRAR are Texas A&M, Baylor, Clemson, NYU, LSU, UT Arlington & many Florida schools.

In this lab we show you, step-by-step, how to set up your SRAR. You will also receive advice and guidance regarding how to complete this important profile.

Needed:

• High School Transcript

Be Advised:

• This is a hands-on working lab with camera & audio on. Participation is required for all attendees.
• Plan to be in a quite location suitable for concentration and focus.
• You MUST be at a desk and in front of a computer (no phones allowed).
