On the form, indicate all subjects that you would like to tutor and if you would like to tutor more than one student.
If the student no longer needs a tutor, please go to the Career Center so the Peer Tutor can be reassigned.

Transcripts
Ordering High School Transcripts for College
To order a student high school transcript for college admission, parents/students will create their own online Parchment account. This electronic account will be a student's account for anything they may need a transcript before or after high school graduation. (Do not order transcripts through Parchment for scholarships, come to the LNH Career Center)
Transcript Instructions
- Go to Parchment
- Set up a New Learner Account (no registration codes issued)
- Enter student name EXACTLY as it appears on your student Infinite Campus account
- Complete all registration information (recommended: waive rights to access)
- Select destination college, NCAA (for athlete needs), or the Common Application
- Provide credit or debit card for the transcript processing fee
Notes:
- A charge is applied of $6.65 for each transcript needed through Parchment.
- For an UNOFFICIAL transcript students should use their Infinite Campus account to download their transcript, so they are not charged.
Benefits: This service is easy, secure, and available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Colleges now prefer the official electronic transcript. Email confirmation is sent to the student when the request is received, when the transcript has been sent, and when the transcript has been received by the college.

Career & College Search
LNHS students use the Minnesota Career Information System (MCIS) to access their own high school, college and career informational portfolios. Students will find their own high school career interest assessments to aid in college/career planning. MCIS assists with colleges’ information, tuition, student/professor ratio, population, admission requirements, high school class suggestions, career descriptions, etc. on their website.
LNHS students are able to set up their own portfolios while in high school and beyond. MCIS displays information concerning a student's career interest assessments, practice college entrance testing, college search information, college majors, career plans, maps out high school classes, scholarships, financial planning, and more. It also lists information for future jobs and the military. MCIS stores students’ own career/college comparison data for college search and career information.
Students should visit the MCIS website, log in with Clever, (using their LNHS Gmail account information) to access their own accounts to store their own portfolio data.
