As you are preparing to apply for college, Odyssey asks and strongly recommends that you upload your most recent transcript. Your transcript is required to apply to college. With Odyssey having this information saved in your file in advance of the summer, it will save you time in the long run as you are preparing your college applications. This way, we can print off as many copies as you'll require.
