"Official and Unofficial" Transcripts

An official transcript usually goes directly from school to school and I believe even has a seal on it.

An unofficial transcript is just a copy of the transcript.

-------------------------------------------------------------------

Unofficial transcripts are those that are not signed and sealed. Many times it is because classes and grades are not yet final but it means they just want something to look at.
Did that make sense?

-------------------------------------------------------------------

Unofficial transcript means you just print it off the website of the high school or college and send it. Official transcript means the college officially sends it, for which they may charge a fee of a few dollars. Unofficial comes from you; official comes from the school. As a homeschooler, you just send them the transcript you have for unofficial. For an official one, we put signature lines at the bottom for my husband and for our evaluator and have both signatures notarized.
