Transcript Order is an online service that provides students and alumni with copies of their academic records. This type of service is especially useful for those who need to present copies of their transcripts to potential employers, universities, and government agencies. Transcript Orders can be requested through the university's website or in person. The two main types of Transcript Order are Official Transcripts and Unofficial Transcripts. Official Transcripts are the most authentic academic records, and they are usually required when applying for college admission, scholarships, or professional certifications. Unofficial Transcripts are typically used for reference and do not carry the same amount of weight as Official Transcripts.
