When and how to use this letter
Transcript requests go to the examinations or transcript section of your university, and the single most important detail is the envelope. Foreign universities and evaluators like WES require transcripts in sealed envelopes stamped or signed across the flap; an opened envelope is treated as unofficial and rejected. State the number of copies clearly in your application, because each sealed copy usually carries its own fee, and ordering extras now is far cheaper than a second application later.
Many universities now offer direct dispatch to the evaluating organization, which WES and similar bodies strongly prefer over applicant-handled envelopes. If that option exists, take it and provide the exact mailing address or reference number the evaluator gave you. Processing typically takes two to four weeks, but transcript sections slow down badly during admission season, so apply the moment you decide to study abroad rather than after deadlines approach.
A tip that prevents the most common rejection: confirm whether your transcripts need attestation by the Higher Education Commission as well. Some countries and evaluators want both the sealed university transcript and HEC attestation, and doing them in the right order matters, so ask the receiving organization for its exact document checklist before you apply.
