How to Authenticate This Official Transcript
From Baker College
This official transcript has been transmitted electronically to the recipient, and is intended solely for use by
that recipient. If you are not the intended recipient, please notify the Office of the Registrar at Baker
College. It is not permissible to replicate this document or forward it to any person or organization other
than the identified recipient. Release of this record or disclosure of its contents to any third party without
written consent of the record owner is prohibited.
This official transcript has been digitally signed and therefore contains special characteristics. If this
document has been issued by Baker College, and for optimal results, we recommend that this document is
viewed with the latest version of Adobe® Acrobat or Adobe® Reader; it will reveal a digital certificate that
has been applied to the transcript. This digital certificate will appear in a pop-up screen or status bar on the
document, display a blue ribbon, and declare that the document was certified by Baker College with a valid
certificate issued by GlobalSign CA for Adobe®. This document certification can be validated by clicking on
the Signature Properties of the document.
The blue ribbon symbol is your assurance that the digital certificate is valid, the document is
authentic, and the contents of the transcript have not been altered.
If the transcript does not display a valid certification and signature message, reject this transcript
immediately. An invalid digital certificate display means either the digital signature is not authentic,
or the document has been altered. The digital signature can also be revoked by Office of the
Registrar if there is cause, and digital signatures can expire. A document with an invalid digital
signature display should be rejected.
Lastly, one other possible message, Author Unknown, can have two possible meanings: The
certificate is a self-signed certificate or has been issued by an unknown or untrusted certificate
authority and therefore has not been trusted, or the revocation check could not complete. If you
receive this message make sure you are properly connected to the internet. If you have a
connection and you still cannot validate the digital certificate on-line, reject this document.
