Recommendation letters need to be typed, signed, dated (within the last 6 months), and have detailed information about the student (ex: background info, degree program, goals, personal accomplishments, etc).

You have to use your most recent transcript. Example: If you just graduated from high school, you must use your high school transcript. If you have attended SKC most recently, your unofficial transcript can be found on JICS, do not pay for an official one. If you are a transfer student you must use your transcripts from the institution that you transferred from. Use your Cumulative GPA, this is the GPA that is your overall GPA with all of your classes, do not use your quarterly GPA.
