Transcripts

Official Transcripts
Transcripts are considered official only if they arrive in a sealed letterhead envelope from a high school, college or university or are sent directly to Á½ÐÔÉ«ÎçÒ¹ electronically, such as through Parchment or another third-party service. Transcripts issued directly to the student will be accepted only if the envelope is unopened. Once the envelope seal has been broken by someone other than a university employee, the transcript becomes unofficial. Transcripts issued electronically to the student are considered unofficial.
