Regulations
Governing the Secondary School Transcript |
On
March 29, 2007, the Virginia Board of Education adopted amended regulations
governing the Secondary School Transcript. These revisions were made in order to
strengthen the transcript regulations and to bring them into conformity with
amended or new state and federal laws as well as the needs of higher education.
The secondary school transcript regulations shall become effective for students
who take secondary courses for credit beginning in the 2008-2009 school year.
Attachment
A contains a copy of the recently adopted regulations for your use in planning
and developing transcripts at the local level.
Localities have options for the secondary school transcript format. They may use the Department of Educations
sample or develop their own following the revised regulations. Attachment B contains the Department of
Educations sample transcript.
For

school counseling specialist, by e-mail at Joseph.Wharff@doe.virginia.gov,
