Once accepted to the Academy, students should be aware of the following:

• Interlochen needs one official final transcript (school record) that is translated into English. We need this before you arrive on our campus.
• If you have previously taken a TOEFL test, you must include a copy of your score report with your transcript.
• Enrollment in classes will not occur until we have received a translated official transcript.
• For our College Application Process during your senior year of school we also will require six additional official transcripts, which will be used to send with your college applications.
  

Please send your seven final transcripts to:
