<p>Above question</p>
<p>They need to be processed in whatever way is official for your school. At our D’s school, transcripts are sent by the registrar on security paper in sealed envelopes with a school stamp across the flap. There is no signature and the GC is not involved in sending transcripts.</p>
<p>To be official, they can’t come from you. There’s no way around using the school’s system, whatever it is. So whatever you’re think of doing, for good or evil, you can’t do it.</p>
<p>Some schools such as UT Austin let applicants upload a copy or photocopy of an official transcript (which is the route I took). They always have to have a signature of one of the people working in the student services office, so there’s no way of getting around that if I wanted to.</p>
