Basic Info
Academic records are official documents that show your academic achievement, such as transcripts, mark sheets, certificates, diplomas, degrees, etc.
Please note that many universities require your academic records to be sent directly from your previous and or current academic institutions (schools / colleges / universities).
If they cannot send the academic records to your intended college/ university, you will have to include the academic records along in your application packet.
In order to ensure that the transcripts are authentic, the academic record documents should be sent in a sealed envelope which is signed and stamped by the registrar or by an authorized official of your school / college / university. Please check with your intended college / university for more details.
If the institution is not ready to give you more than one copy of the document, you can make copies of the original and get the copies certified by the registrar or by an approved government / institutional agency indicating that they have sighted the original.
We suggest that you check with your intended college / university for more details.
