What should students do if their transcript is not available digitally?

If your transcript is not available digitally, don’t worry—many students face this situation, and universities abroad are familiar with it. Here’s what you should do:

Steps to Follow:

1. Obtain Official Hard Copies:
Request official, sealed transcripts from your school, college, or university. These should be stamped and signed by the appropriate authority (Registrar, Principal, or Controller of Examinations).

2. Scan the Hard Copy:
Use a high-quality scanner to create clear, color PDF scans of your hard copy transcripts. Make sure all pages, stamps, and signatures are visible.

3. Certification/Attestation (if required):
Some universities may require the scanned transcript to be attested by your institution or a notary. Check the requirements of your chosen universities.

4. Upload the Scanned Copy:
Most overseas universities accept scanned copies for initial applications, which you can upload through their online portals.

5. Send Physical Copies (if requested):
Some universities may require you to send the original, sealed transcript by post after receiving an offer. Check the university’s guidelines carefully.

6. Cover Letter (if necessary):
If you face unusual difficulties (such as delays from your institution), write a brief cover letter explaining your situation and when you expect to receive the transcript.
