Which Colleges Utilize the SSAR/SRAR?
The Self-Reported Student Academic Record (SSAR) is a detailed online form used by students to report their high school courses and corresponding grades. Unlike traditional transcripts, the SSAR allows students to manually enter their academic information, providing colleges with an immediate and comprehensive view of their academic achievements.
Why Some Colleges Use the SSAR
Efficiency: The SSAR streamlines the admissions process by allowing students to input their information directly, reducing the time and resources needed to obtain official transcripts.
Accuracy: By allowing students to enter their information, the SSAR minimizes errors that may occur in traditional transcript processing.
Flexibility: The SSAR can be customized to fit the specific needs and requirements of individual colleges, making it a versatile tool in the admissions process.
