A transcript is an official academic record that shows all courses a student has taken, including those successfully completed, unsuccessfully completed, and withdrawn from. It is sometimes called a mark sheet, report card, or permanent record. While mark sheets show semester grades, a transcript consolidates all exam results. Transcripts are required for university applications abroad and must be submitted either as soft copies uploaded online or hard copies mailed directly from the issuing school. They typically include a student's grades from 9th to 12th grade when applying to college.
