Definition of Official College Transcript
According to the guidelines set by the American Association of College Registrars and Admissions Officers (AACRAO) and endorsed by the Southern Association of College Registrars and Admissions Officers (SACRAO), "An official college transcript is one that you (the receiving institution) have received directly from the issuing college or university. It must bear the college seal, current date and an appropriate signature. Transcripts received that do not meet these requirements should not be considered official and should be routinely rejected for any permanent use."

Foreign Transcripts
Students transferring from foreign countries must have official transcripts sent directly from their foreign college to World Evaluation Services (WES). The student must request a course-by-course evaluation. WES sends a translated copy to the Office of Transcript Evaluation acknowledging whether the foreign college is considered regionally accredited and lists all course completed and American hours earned and a letter grade. English is never accepted from a foreign country unless it is the native language of that country.

Military Transcripts/CLEP/Dantes
Limited credits are transferred from military transcripts. The records can be requested from the appropriate military branch education department. Transcript Evaluation uses the ACE guideline, and Transcript Evaluation personnel is responsible for researching military training/CLEP and Dantes records and determining appropriate transfer coursework.

Advanced Placement (AP) Exams
Students must request AP scores be sent directly to the Office of Transcript Evaluation. Transcript Evaluation personnel will determine appropriate transfer credit per course. Acceptable scores are 3, 4 or 5.

Articulating Colleges in One-Plus-One Programs
It is the responsibility of the liaison at the articulating college to have the student request an official copy of all third party college transcripts be sent directly to Greenville Technical College for evaluation. Liaison uses Greenville Tech evaluation to determine if student has completed any of Phase One requirements from colleges other than their own.
