    You'll need your traditional ID, proof of identification, and transcripts of any places that you attended in the past. This includes the high school that you were at and anywhere you went from there, like an undergraduate or community college—essentially, anywhere you would have been prior to getting your degree and/or your GED.

    The best way to do this is during your college application process. They'll have several different portals, one of which is called the Common Application. In this Common Application, they're going to have a section that will ask you for your transcripts from high school or any relevant schools that you've been to—that includes duel enrollment. Just make sure that you're putting the transcripts in the relevant spot within the actual portals of the application that the colleges are giving you.

    Yes you can contact your former school and ask for a copy of your transcripts. If your school has closed down, you will have to contact your state’s department of education.
