<p>Okay, my GC printed my transcript out, scanned it into the computer, and then sent it over commonapp. </p>
<p>The university i'm applying to says that transcript must be official and that photocopies are not allowed. </p>
<p>So, did my GC do the right thing? Is what she did allowed? How will it affect me if it turns out that my transcript is unacceptable?</p>
<p>Is the transcript signed? Does it say “official” anywhere?</p>
<p>i’m not sure, i’ll have to ask tomarrow. But what if my transcript is signed by my GC, and says official, does it count? The university says no photocopies, but i never touched my transcript. My GC did everything.</p>
<p>If it’s sent electronically I don’t see how you could tell whether it was a photocopy. I think they’re saying if it’s sent via mail, they want an original (i.e. <em>not</em> a photocopy) version.</p>
<p>Most likely your transcript <em>does</em> say “official” :)</p>
<p>if it says official on it and your GC has signed it, then it is official. I agree with HighlandMom, i think that if they are sent by mail, then it can’t be a photocopy.</p>
<p>Anyway, if the University has any problems or doubts with your transcript, they’ll notify you or your school to send another one.</p>
