You may have a lot of questions about self-reporting your academic record. Below you’ll find Southeast’s procedures. As we receive your official test score and GPA, your award will be reevaluated. If you have questions not covered below or need assistance, don’t hesitate to chat or contact us! 

Academic Reporting Details

Any admitted student who confirms their enrollment is required to submit a final, official high school transcript with graduation date sent directly from the high school and official test score(s) sent directly from the testing agency or included on the high school transcript. These official documents are carefully reviewed against the self-reported Academic Record. If the Academic Record is deemed inaccurate, Southeast Missouri State University may change or cancel the admission and scholarship offers, regardless of whether the inaccuracy was intentional or accidental.  

Southeast’s ACT Code: 2366 
Southeast’s SAT Code: 6655  

You must be accurate. 

  • You should have a copy of your unofficial transcript and test score reports in hand when completing the Academic Record to ensure that information is entered fully and accurately.  

You must be honest. 

  • Do not adjust your grades in any manner. Do not average or convert them. You must enter your most current cumulative GPA (weighted or unweighted, whichever is highest) exactly as shown on your transcript and report your schools grading scale.  

Students should report their highest superscored composite or total score from the same testing agency on the Academic Record.   

Students are required to submit all official test scores directly from the testing agency or include on the official high school transcript by June 1 for summer/fall term and December 1 for spring term. Official results, including composite (or total) scores and subscores, must match the information provided in the applicant's Academic Record.   

All Southeast Missouri State University students who have enrolled or plan to enroll will need to submit official final transcripts and test scores by June 1 for summer/fall term and December 1 for spring term. We will compare the official final transcript and test scores against the self-reported academic record.  

Academic integrity and student success are our highest priorities. Southeast Missouri State University has the right to cancel enrollment and scholarships for any students who misrepresented their Academic Record. The Office of Admissions has sole discretion in determining if misrepresentation has occurred.

We ask that students reference a printed unofficial transcript and unofficial test score reports to minimize any typos or errors.  

Misrepresentation or inaccurate entry of information in the Academic Record may be grounds for a change in the admission decision and scholarship offers. These situations may include, but are not limited to, the following:  

  • Pattern of inaccuracy: A student submits an Academic Record with a pattern of repeated inconsistencies.  
  • Single significant error: A student misreports a superscored composite/total score or cumulative GPA that has a significant bearing on the admission decision. Our admissions committee will review final transcripts and test scores in comparison to self-reported information. Students may or may not be asked to provide an explanation for inconsistencies.  

Typos determined to be unintentional may still be grounds for a change in the admission decision and scholarship offer. Applicants whose admission or scholarship offer is changed or rescinded will be notified in writing. 

An applicant may appeal the cancellation of admission and/or scholarship offer by submitting an appeal request in writing. The appeal must include relevant information as to why the cancellation is inappropriate. Any supporting documentation that has direct bearing on the matter must be included. A review will be conducted to determine the outcome of the appeal.
