• An official transcript is one that has been received directly from your college or school. Official transcripts are printed on official transcript paper. They must bear the embossed or raised college seal, date and the registrar's signature. Transcripts that do not meet these requirements are not considered official and will not be accepted. Official transcripts can be sent electronically directly from your college or school.
• Unofficial transcripts are printed on plain paper and do not have a college seal or registrar's signature. Please note, official sealed transcripts that have been opened are no longer official transcripts and will not be accepted.
