A complete academic record or transcript usually includes all courses completed, grades earned, and degrees awarded. The official transcripts are issued directly by the school or University. In the United States, it is common practice for official transcripts to be sent by the issuing the University directly to the receiving one . In many other countries, the practice is to issue the official transcript and degree certificate directly to the student, who mails it to the University. However, it should be noted that the transcripts must be sealed for protection from tampering. (Always request your institution to issue additional copies). If your institution does not provide this service, you may have to seek an alternative source of certification. As a last resort, you may send a copy of your official transcript, explaining that you have only one original, and ask the school for guidance about the kind of certification it recommends.
