<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#002060">Many of you have noticed that ACT has the following statement in their Pearson Access Next website regarding transcripts:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in"><i><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#002060">ACT
<b>recommends</b> that schools do not include ACT scores on school transcripts in effort to avoid student privacy concerns or inconsistent score report data. If your school insists on sending scores on a student transcript, ACT recommends documenting consent
from the student in advance.</span></i><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#002060">”<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><i><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#002060"><o:p> </o:p></span></i></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#002060">It is a recommendation only by ACT. Schools do have the option of listing the ACT score on the transcript and it is advantageous to do so as it saves parents and students time and
the expense of paying for scores to be sent to an institution later. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#002060"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#002060">If your school chooses to not put an ACT score on a transcript, a suggestion would be to add another paper to your enrollment packet, or at the bottom of one of your forms, for
parent to sign giving permission to put the ACT scores on their child’s transcript.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
