what is a sealed transcript
A Sealed Transcript means that the transcript is placed in a Cleveland State University envelope with the University Registrars signature across the back flap. For a Sealed Transcript to remain official, it CANNOT be opened by the student, but only by the party that intends to use the document. If you do not request a sealed transcript, you will receive an Issued to Student transcript that has a red security stamp to prevent photocopying. Requesting a Sealed Transcript is not necessary if you are sending the transcript directly to another university or employer.
