  9. Look up the college(s) you are applying to by using the “College Picker”. Check the box if you have already applied online using the college’s website. Select “Add Colleges”

  10. If you are still working on your application, you can come back later to change the status and request the transcript. Once you have completed your application for the college, you will need to request for a transcript to be sent from CGHS.

  11. Check the schools you have submitted an application for and for whom you would like to request a transcript. Select “Request Transcripts”.

  12. You will receive a confirmation that the transcripts have been requested and are “pending”. This status will change once CGHS sends your transcript electronically.

  13. To check your transcript status, select the “transcripts” link on the colleges page. Select “View status…”

  14. Date will appear once the college has downloaded your transcript. Status will change to a date once your Transcript and School Report Form are released by CGHS.

  19. If you already know the school you are searching for, just type the name of the school in the search box.

  20. A link is provided to access the college’s admissions website and pplication. Add the school to your “Colleges I’m thinking about” List. This can then be switched to the “Colleges I’m applying to” list. Important admission facts, financial aid, available majors and student life information links.

  21. Scattergrams allow you to view the GPA and SAT/ACT scores of those CGHS students who were admitted or denied at a particular college. Obviously, the names of the students are not listed. 

  22. Since this is our first year using Family Connection, scattergrams will not have relevant data until our current senior class begins to receive admission decisions from the colleges. The data on this scattergram is not real. However, it is an example of how the student data would be displayed regarding Admitted vs. Denied

CGHS keeps a list of scholarships that we have been made aware of by local scholarship providers, as well as other state and national scholarship opportunities.
