If you or any of your friends are planning to go abroad for further studies then you must have come across the term university transcripts. It is a highly popular term among those seeking admission to foreign universities but it is equally unknown among those who don’t find interest in studying or working abroad. If you are reading this article then it means either you are researching about what transcripts are or you might be looking for ways to apply for transcripts from university. Whatever it is, you will get all the information regarding transcripts.
what is a university transcript? Why is it a topic of discussion?
Well, university transcripts are one of the most important documents considered by students and professionals going abroad. Transcripts can be considered as a cumulative form of mark sheets of all the semesters or academic years of a student. Transcripts contain all the academic details of the student right from the student’s name, college name, and enrolment number to subjects in the entire course, what the total marks and how many marks the student has scored in each subject. Each university grants its students a transcript based on their requirements. For example, a student who has completed B. Arch from Osmania University can request his Osmania University transcript for his B. Arch course. And how is it different from a mark sheet? The student will have 10 mark sheets for 10 semesters. But he will get one transcript for all his semesters and that will contain all details right from first to last semester. Similarly, students from JNTUH can request for JNTUH transcript, students from DU can request a DU transcript and so on.
Not every student needs to have their university transcripts with them. Therefore universities do not provide transcripts to all the students like a degree certificate or mark sheets. Transcripts are kind of made to order documents that are given to students who have applied for them. If a student from Osmania University applies for a transcript, then only he will receive his Osmania University transcript. This is why not all students know about transcripts and do not even bother applying. But when they plan to move abroad, this becomes the priority document. Different universities have different structures of transcripts. The details provided can differ in various university transcripts but there are few details that are compulsory. The important details that Osmania University transcript or JNTUH transcript or any other university transcript should contain are – Name of student, name of college studied in, course and stream name, subject code and subject name, student’s enrolment number, marks obtained by the student in each subject, seal and signature of the issuing authority, etc.
So, now that you know what university transcripts are and what details they contain.
how to apply for a transcript?
you might wonder how to apply for a transcript? If you want to get a transcript, you need to apply to the issuing authority at the respective university.
