official transcripts
Sealed grade documents
Official transcripts are formal academic records issued directly by an educational institution, documenting courses taken, grades earned, and degrees conferred.
The "official" designation means the document bears institutional authentication—typically a seal, signature, or secure electronic verification—and is sent directly to the requesting party rather than handled by the student.
The law school required official transcripts from all previous institutions.
Unofficial transcripts show the same information but lack this chain-of-custody verification.
