College Entrance Examination Board (CEEB) Code
Burris’ CEEB code is 152470.
This code is frequently requested on college applications and must be provided upon registration for SAT or ACT so that test scores will be sent to Burris.
Transcripts
Burris students can have their high school transcript sent electronically to colleges and universities at no cost through www.Parchment.com
Paper copies of transcripts can still be sent through regular mail at no cost and can be requested through the school counselor or the main office.

Indiana College Core
Do you want to get a head start on college? The Indiana College Core allows high school students to earn 30 general education credits that can be transferred as a block to any public college or university in Indiana, as well as some private institutions. In other words, students who earn the College Core in high school may already be finished with their first year of college at a fraction of the cost. To learn more about the Indiana College Core and put together your plan, use My College Core (mycollegecore.org) and work closely with your school counselor.
What is FAFSA?
The Free Application For Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) is the most important document for determining if you’re eligible for financial aid — money to help you pay for education and training beyond high school. The easiest way to file the FAFSA is online at FAFSA.gov.
After you file your FAFSA, your college will be able to tell you which scholarships and grants you could receive as well as how much money you can borrow in federal loans. To find out more about the FAFSA, including what kinds of state financial aid is available, check out Learn More Indiana’s FAFSA guide for Hoosiers.
Contact Learn More Indiana and get connected with specialists who can answer your questions.
