Final Transcripts
After a student puts a deposit down to attend a college or university, that school will ask for the student's final transcript. This final transcript will list every course the student took in high school and the grade they earned.
Mount St. Mary Academy will send one final transcript per student to the college or university they have indicated they are attending. Transcripts will be submitted as soon as they are updated. This process should be completed by Memorial Day weekend.
After graduation, as alumni, former students will need to request transcripts through the school website. Under the Alumnae tab is a blue button, Request an MSM Transcript. Your request will be fulfilled through this process.

Career Opportunities in the Accounting Profession
The Career Opportunities in the Accounting Profession (COAP) Program is a program that is sponsored by the NYSSCPA and hosted locally on UB’s North Campus. It is a program for high school students (grades 9-12) to learn more about the Accounting profession, breaking the typical stereotypes that one often thinks of when they hear the word ‘Accountant’. The program is scheduled to take place IN PERSON Monday, June 24, 2024 – Tuesday, June 25, 2024 on North Campus. The program will include various guest speakers, firm visits, and activities throughout the 2-day packed agenda.
The program is free of cost.
If a student has completed the COAP program and declare Accounting as a major, they are eligible to apply for a $2,000 scholarship annually. https://www.nysscpa.org/nextgen/college-students/scholarship, ‘COAP Scholarships and Renewals’
