An academic transcript lists your courses and grades. Employers, other universities, and visa officers often want an official sealed copy — not a phone photo of a results slip.
Who Issues What
| Level | Typical issuer |
|---|---|
| SHS / WASSCE context | School + WAEC-related processes as applicable |
| Tertiary | Your university / college academic affairs or exams office |
Always start with your institution’s published transcript procedure.
Typical Application Flow
- Clear any fee / library / clearance holds if your school requires them
- Apply via the school portal or forms desk
- Pay the published processing fee through official channels
- Collect sealed copies or arrange official electronic delivery if offered
For Study Abroad / Visas
- Ask whether they need sealed envelopes sent directly
- Order extras — re-application eats time
- Match names to passport (see affidavit if spellings differ)
