When you need it
- Students leaving school after the final year and applying to colleges.

Before you issue it
- State the class or period of study precisely, for example "Grade 11 and Grade 12 (2024–2026)".
- The conduct description is the school's decision; nothing is filled in automatically.
- Colleges may ask for the original and keep it, so print more than one signed copy if the student is applying to several places.
- Issue it together with the transfer certificate to save the family a second visit.
