Definition
An official record issued by a school or institution that lists all courses a student has taken, the grades received, credit hours earned, and cumulative GPA. Transcripts are used in college admissions, graduate school applications, job applications, and credit transfer processes. An official transcript bears the school's seal and registrar's signature; unofficial transcripts are self-service copies used for advising.
