Thank you both so much! I'll definitely check out these options, this is really helpful. I totally get needing the official confirmation before I enroll, it just seems so strange since there's not a single grade available yet... but alas, bureaucracy never dies

Hi everyone! I'm new to this forum because I've been googling some questions and just found out it exists! Wish I had known about it earlier. I am currently doing a one-year UK MA and accepted a PhD offer in the US starting fall 2020, and as is standard they need my transcripts from both undergrad and my MA to confirm my matriculation. But because of how my UK institution does grading, I literally have no grades available (they do two rounds of marking for everything and the second round isn't until the end of my degree), and I won't have a result from my dissertation until November which is months after I'll start the PhD. I've emailed the graduate admissions office and they've been very unhelpful because they just keep asking for an official transcript, but my official transcript is empty! The UK office is also closed because of coronavirus and isn't processing transcripts until further notice anyway. Has anyone gone through this/heard of others who have? (Also, congrats to everyone who has offers and solidarity with those still waiting for waitlists—this was such a brutal experience, not to mention the excruciating uncertainty of coronavirus! I actually only got into what was luckily my top choice program, and waitlisted at a few others.)
