When issuing the transcripts required for studying abroad, it should be noted that for students who have not graduated from junior year or above, they only need to issue the transcripts at that time, and they will make up after senior year. Those who have graduated need to issue transcripts for all four years. In addition, the Academic Affairs Office or the Foreign Affairs Office of China University is generally responsible for issuing transcripts.
I. Basic requirements for transcripts
The format of transcripts depends on the specific situation of each undergraduate school, and the general requirements are as follows:
1. Original transcripts and scanned copies in Chinese and English are required, and some schools require the original transcripts to be mailed.
2. It is recommended to handle the original transcript 10. If there are restrictions on the handling of transcripts by the Academic Affairs Office, can the Academic Affairs Office stamp its official seal when copying transcripts?
3. After scanning the electronic version, you need to seal it with the school envelope and stamp it.
4. The forms and handling methods of study abroad report vary from school to school, but the items usually displayed on the report are:
Name, gender, date of birth and photo of the applicant's school;
B student's name, gender, date of birth and photo of the applicant;
C. Department, major, length of study, degree awarded after graduation;
D courses, academic performance (or class hours) and results of each semester.
5. When you receive the report card of studying abroad, you should convert your GPA score according to the conversion formula stipulated by the school you applied for. If the situation permits and does not affect the overall academic performance of the transcript, you can delete one or two courses that have little to do with your major and have low scores from the original transcript, so as not to affect your GPA.
Second, the translation method of the transcript
The best way to translate transcripts is for schools to provide English transcripts. If the school can't provide English transcripts, it needs to translate them. Transcripts can be translated in two ways:
1. Submit it to a professional translation company for translation: after the translation is completed, these institutions will affix a translation stamp on the translation for the English school to recognize the translation. The advantage of this translation method is accuracy, but it costs some money. It should be noted that it is necessary to ensure that the translation can be stamped with the translation seal.
2. Submit it to an overseas study institution or individual with relevant qualifications for translation: The qualification here refers to CET-8 or above or equivalent. This kind of translation requires the translator to sign the translation and submit the translator's qualification certificate together with the translation, such as a copy of the TEM-8 certificate for English majors.
Third, the report card needs attention.
1, which means GPA algorithm.
If the average grade is marked in the form of GPA, it is necessary to indicate the GPA algorithm on the report card and attach the calculation formula. The calculation method is best to list the results on the same page and be confirmed by the academic affairs office of the school.
2. stamps
It should be noted that all transcripts, whether in Chinese or English, whether original or translated, must be stamped with the official seal of the academic affairs office of the school. Because no matter what kind of document it is, the academic affairs office of the school will endorse it on behalf of the school after it is stamped, so that the famous schools studying abroad will also recognize the validity of this document.
3. Be as accurate as possible when translating.
If English transcripts need to be translated separately, attention should be paid to ensuring the accuracy of translation as much as possible. Several items that must be guaranteed to be accurate are: the name of the school, the name of the college, the name of the major, and the name of the main professional course. The accurate translation of these items ensures the validity of the transcript.
Four. Relevant certificate
In addition to transcripts, other relevant documents include: proof of study (or proof before graduation), ranking certificate, diploma and degree certificate.
1, studying, graduating or degree certificate
Some schools may not need proof of study, so it is generally recommended to send one. If the student has graduated, the diploma and degree certificate correspond to the proof of study. A few schools clearly pointed out the need for these materials. If these materials are not clearly confirmed before the application, it may lead to the need to send them later.
The way to issue transcripts and proof of attendance can be inquired from the school's academic affairs. Generally, there are detailed application procedures, and some schools have restrictions on the number of copies of materials. If so, you can try to confirm with the school whether the copy of the material can also be stamped, or whether the department can help stamp it if the college does not stamp it. Such questions are generally ignored by American schools, and even if asked, they can have a reasonable explanation. The only thing that we are not advised to do is to forge transcripts and other materials and documents. American schools attach great importance to the issue of credits.
2. Ranking certificate
As for the ranking card, it is generally recommended to distribute it in the first 20%, especially when the GPA of all students in the school is low, the ranking card can play a certain supplementary role. If the school does not have a fixed template, you can write it yourself and find the relevant department of the school to stamp it.
You know, it is not a trivial matter to issue a report card. You just need to run errands to the relevant departments once in a while to issue them. The most important thing is your grades. Your GPA definitely affects the quality of the school you apply for, so since you are going to study abroad, study hard and make progress every day is the last word.
