  • Allow 1-3 business days for requests to be processed.
  • Once a transcript has been sent, Parchment Secure Transcript will send you a confirmation email that your transcript was sent and again to confirm a college has received it.
  • You may also request a transcript be mailed. Confirmation is given that it was sent, but not that it was received.
  • RHS cannot fulfill requests to send ACT or SAT test scores to colleges. Request those directly from the testing agency, www.actstudent.org or www.satcollegeboard.org.

Advanced Placement:

The Advanced Placement exams will be offered offsite at Oakland University South Foundation Hall on the 3rd Floor May 6-17 with the exception of the World Language exams and Studio Art. The objective of AP courses is to prepare students for the AP exam. Students scoring well on the AP exam(s) may potentially waive college requirements or receive college credit. Students should check the individual university they plan to attend to verify their AP policy, either on their website or by personal contact. If there are any questions regarding the AP exams, students should consult their counselor or AP teacher.

For all information related to Advanced Placement courses including registration, please go to our Advanced Placement Information page.
