Transcripts are official academic documents that provide a detailed record of the courses undertaken, along with the corresponding grades or marks awarded. Issued by the respective universities, these documents are often referred to as University Transcripts. They may also be known by other names such as Mark Sheets, Grade Cards, Report Cards, Result Cards, Academic Certificates, Transcripts of Records (TOR), Transcripts of Academic Records, Transcript of Credit, Cumulative Record Files (CRF), Mark Certificates, or Statement of Marks.
What is an Academic Transcript?
An Academic Transcript is an official document that serves as proof of your educational history. It provides a comprehensive, chronological record of all the courses you have completed, along with the corresponding grades or marks awarded by your academic institution.
A typical academic transcript includes:
- Names of courses completed
- Grades or marks obtained
- Credit hours earned (if applicable)
- Degree(s) awarded detail (if any)
- Year of completion
This document is essential for assessing a student’s academic performance and qualifications.
What is an Official Transcript?
An Official Transcript is a certified academic document issued directly by your university or institution. It typically includes a seal, stamp, and the signature of the registrar, controller of examination, or another authorized official.
This transcript is considered authentic and is usually sent in a sealed envelope or through a secure electronic channel directly to the evaluating authority such as WES, IQAS, CES, ICES, MCC, PEBC etc. or institution—without being handled by the student.
Official transcripts are the preferred and often required format for purposes such as:
- Educational Credential Assessments (ECA)
- Graduate school admissions
- Employment verification
- Immigration or licensing processes
They serve as a reliable and verifiable record of your academic performance.
Use of Transcripts for ECA and Other Academic Purposes
Educational Credential Assessment (ECA) agencies request official academic transcripts to accurately evaluate and verify a person’s educational qualifications earned outside the country of application (e.g., Canada).
A transcript certificate is an official record of a student’s academic history, detailing the courses and subjects studied, grades or marks obtained, and key personal and institutional information such as the student’s name, university, and education board.
Transcripts play a crucial role in validating academic achievements and are often required for a variety of purposes, including:
- Studying Abroad
Universities and colleges abroad typically require official transcripts as part of the admission process to evaluate the applicant’s academic background. - Educational Credential Assessment (ECA)
For immigration, higher education, or professional licensing purposes—particularly in countries like Canada, the USA, the UK, Germany, and others—Educational Credential Assessment (ECA) agencies such as WES, ICAS, IQAS, CES, ICES, IQAS, MCC, and similar organizations evaluate academic transcripts to determine the equivalency of foreign educational qualifications to the local education standards of the destination country. - Job Applications
Many employers, particularly for roles requiring specific qualifications, request transcripts to verify educational credentials and assess the applicant’s suitability for the role.
The transcript helps confirm whether the student has completed an undergraduate or postgraduate program and supports their eligibility for further education or employment opportunities.
