Official vs Unofficial Transcripts

[wishiwasbeyonce]

Hi! Quick question. I have both official transcripts and student record (unofficial transcripts, I suppose). If an application asks for unofficial transcripts, can I upload the official pdf or should I just upload the student record? Thanks!

@wishiwasbeyonce Hi! I would upload the official pdf transcripts because it will include all the information ( school's name, term year, etc.) the school will need. An "official" transcript is automatically considered "unofficial" when it is uploaded or hand carried by the student. Pretty much, if you can alter the transcripts in any way its considered unofficial.

I sent a "printed to PDF" version of my grades, which is not even a transcript, and forgot to translate them to English (it is in Portuguese). Does anybody know if it will disqualify my application or they will request it by e-mail if there is something wrong?
