In summary, a transcript is an official document that contains a record of courses, grades, and credits earned at a particular school or institution. It is required by institutions to evaluate academic performance and can be obtained by contacting the school or institution. It is best to check with the requesting organization to determine if an unofficial transcript is acceptable. A transcript from a previous institution may be submitted, but the current or most recent institution may also require an official transcript.

Hi,

I am doing an application for a post grad position at the moment, and I am required to submit a transcript.

What is this and where do I get it from?

Regards,
Pete

Your report card; an official statement of all your grades, coursework, and credits. You request it from one of the administrative offices in your school, probably the registrar. If you don't have a registrars office, just ask your advisor who you go to for a transcript.
