Transcripts and SACSCOC Compliance

What is the difference between an official and an unofficial transcript?

An official transcript is a document issued by the institution attended by the applicant, and the document lists all courses taken and any degrees conferred. The official transcript is issued in a sealed envelope or via secure electronic delivery (i.e., e-script) and is delivered to an official officer of the hiring institution (the hiring manager or the hiring institution鈥檚 Academic Affairs Office) in the sealed envelope or directly via the secure electronic delivery. If the seal is broken by any person other than an official officer of the institution, the transcript is considered to be unofficial.
