As a high school student, can a referral due to a meltdown effect your entry into college?

I have seen my college transcripts and may have looked at my HS transcript once. It looked pretty factual...just a list of classes and grades, and maybe class rank. I wonder how a narrative of what went down would be accurately depicted on a HS transcript.

Sure, taking mental health issues into account is increasingly important for any school. The OP, and applicant, needs to seek help and find ways to cope so these "meltdowns" don't happen again and thereby increase his/her chances of life success.

The reason I am asking is, do you have to have a hearing to see if the melt down was related to what you might have an IEP for and/or in special education. Just thinking that it if so it may make a difference in how it is listed in your record.

I think he just means "case carrier."

Guidance counselors are an additional mandatory evaluator and they absolutely can say negative things.

The OP mentions IEP, therefore he must be a special ed student. He might be trying to apply for one of those "remedial" type of programs at a CC. The incident might be noted on the IEP or other special ed documents. It probably won't be on the actual HS transcript.
