An academic transcript is the official record of your courses and grades. Universities and SHS registries issue them for further study, jobs, and credential evaluation abroad. Photocopies of result slips are not always accepted as transcripts.
University transcripts
- Clear any fee holds on your student account.
- Apply via the academic affairs / transcript portal or registry desk.
- Specify student number, programme, and number of copies.
- Request sealed envelopes if the destination demands them.
- Allow processing time — rush claims are often unofficial.
SHS / WASSCE-related records
For secondary credentials, schools and WAEC processes differ from university registries. Know whether you need a school transcript, confirmatory results, or certificate processes for your purpose.
For foreign applications
- Ask the foreign school if they need electronic official send vs sealed hard copies
- Budget for attestation if required
- Match names to your passport — fix discrepancies early
Common delays
- Unpaid fees
- Name mismatches
- Peak graduation seasons
- Requests for archived older records
