Transcript Legend
The Family Education Right and Privacy Act of 1974 prohibits the release of information recorded on transcripts to a third party without the student’s written or authenticated electronic consent.
Definition of an Official Transcript
An official transcript is one that has been received from a secure authenticated designated party or issuing institution. It must bear an institutional validation (such as seal, logo, or watermark), date, and appropriate signature. Transcripts received that do not meet these requirements should not be considered official. This definition of an official transcript has been endorsed by the Michigan Association of Collegiate Registrars and Admissions Officers.
