Pro tip:聽McQuarie recommends logging in to your student portal and taking a look at your electronic, unofficial transcript before ordering an official transcript. That way, you can make sure your degree and all grades have been posted to your record.
It鈥檚 worth noting that most schools, licensing bodies, scholarship/fellowship organizations and employers will not accept a transcript if it has been opened or if it has come directly from you. Instead, you鈥檒l need to place the order electronically and have it sent directly to the interested party. This also ensures timeliness: Many institutions and employers want the most recent and up-to-date document available.
There are instances when ordering one for yourself might be a benefit. You might, for example, want a personal copy of your transcript if you are employed and want to proactively show it to your employer for informative purposes.
