A transcript is a thorough record of your grades or marks provided by your current or previous university. An official transcript will frequently have a signature or stamp to prove its authenticity, or it will be delivered via a secure electronic sharing mechanism such as Digitary.transcript.com. An unofficial copy of your transcript can be created using information found in your students account under the "My Account" section of Blackboard. However, these copies are not certified by the institution and may not be accepted by other colleges or universities that require official documents. It is important to remember that an official document provides evidence of what grades you earned at our school, so keep a copy for yourself and also provide one to any schools to which you apply. Transcripts are used by many institutions to evaluate applicants' achievement, grade progression, proficiency in various subjects, etc. Thus, it is important that they are accurate. In most cases, transcripts should be sent to: The Department of Education in the applicant's state office location (not the college), or to the NC State University Centralized Admissions Office. You can find contact information for these offices by visiting the U.S. Department of Education website. Transcripts are required by many schools for consideration of admission.
