Question

1. Submit the necessary high school documents. One original official transcript (not photocopied or faxed) of your complete High School records (grades 9-12) showing your rank in your graduating class.

*~~* I'm confused cuz if I give them an original transcript, without copying it.. how am i supposed to send my transcripts to other universities??? An original is means theres only one....what if all the universities I applied to need an original.. how can I give them the original transcript if I already gave it to another university??? soo confused please help

2. If you have attended another Post-secondary Institution you are required to have original transcripts sent DIRECTLY from the Institution(s) that you have attended to our Admissions Office.

*~~* same question...same confusion

Please be advised that transfer credit is awarded at the discretion of the faculty. Transfer credit may be given for up to two years of work at other post-secondary institutions. However, some programs may only give limited credit. Once admitted to the university, your faculty will evaluate your previous work and award transfer credit relevant to your program of choice. Students will need to submit course descriptions with their transcripts in order to allow an accurate assessment of the courses.

*~~* this basically relates to what i should after im accepted.. right?

Answer 1

1. You can get multiple original transcripts from your high school. Ask for several!

2. You can also ask your other post-secondary institution to send original transcripts to each school you apply to.

3. Yes.. this is just saying (for example) that the math you took at one school might not be worth a credit at your new school.

Answer 2

An original transcript just means that it is the actual piece of paper printed from your school office printer.  You go to your former school (either high school or college) office and ask for your transcripts.  You can also request they send them somewhere, which is what a lot of colleges want - an envelope directly from the school.

They will calculate your transfer credits prior to your enrollment, provided you apply early enough.

Answer 3

You can get multiple original transcripts from your high school.  This is standard procedure for them.  Colleges or other institutions frequently want to receive them directly, so there is no chance for the student to modify them.  

The high school will either mail it directly to the college, or sometimes they will seal it in an envelope that will be damaged if opened.

To create an original transcript, the high school or college will print out a copy, then they will either stamp it with an official stamp, or they will imprint it with a seal by clamping the paper between two embossed plates that leave dents in the paper.  The receiving institution will look for these marks to verify that it is an official original version.

The link below shows a picture of a notary sealing device that is similar to what the high school will use to mark the document.
