Official transcripts must be sent from the high school to the university, as per my understanding.

At the schools where I have been an advisor (NOT Bama) panhellenic provides a GPA that has been recalculated according to that school's method. It is ordinarily not too far from whatever GPA is on the final HS transcript, unless the student has a year of college under her belt. Then it is what she has earned in college. It does not say weighted or unweighted, so i can not say which it is.

Is a Final Academic Transcript Required to Participate in Recruitment?

Yes. All submitted academic information in Innova will be verified against official transcripts on file with The University of Alabama and academic information will be updated to match University records. To ensure that we have your correct academic information, please verify with your high school or college that a certified copy of your FINAL high school and/or college transcript has been sent directly to the UA Office of Admissions. It is YOUR responsibility to make sure UA has an official certified copy of your FINAL transcript, as this will be the recognized grade point average (GPA) shared with each sorority. All FINAL transcripts should be mailed directly from your high school or college to the UA Office of Admissions at the address below no later August 1, 2014 to ensure that they are received prior to the start of recruitment.

And here, concerning online recruitment registration: http://www.uapanhellenic.com/2014-fa...cruitment.html

Digital copy of your high school or college transcript

a. Please note that this will be an optional feature and is not required as part of the online application form. If you do not have a copy of your transcript at the time of registration, please log back in to your account at a later date, prior to August 1st, to add your transcript. You can also upload a partial transcript until your final transcript becomes available.

b. Transcripts must be less than 1MB in size and while a PDF copy is preferable, you can submit your transcript in any one of the following allowable formats: doc, docx, xls, xlsx, txt, pdf, gif, jpg, jpeg.


Therefore, since transcript info (if submitted) to Panhellenic during registration by PNM is updated to match that of admissions, and admissions uses the weighted GPA (or highest GPA, weighted or unweighted) as stated on transcript, and these GPAs from admissions are the GPAs shared with sororities, this is probably good news for the OP.

AWESOME! This is great information, good researching skills, Hart.

Let me elaborate, since I omitted the "official" part of "transcript" from my post. There you have it.

misplacedtexan,

I think you should contact admissions and ask what GPA they have on record for you there. Since this would be the GPA shared with sororities, you would have a definitive answer to your question.

Best of luck to you!
