Official or Unofficial transcript (appeal)?

<p>Would it be fine for me to just send an unofficial transcript in my appeal. It says on the UCI site "official transcript is preferred" but does that mean it is required? I'm on spring break so it isn't easy for me to get my official transcript. THanks</p>

<p>definitely official with signature. you have until april 15th to send everything in so it shouldn’t be a problem to get an official unless you’re on break till that day. GOOD LUCK!!! i’m appealing too</p>
