Validation of Transcripts and Diplomas Statement
To ensure the validity of a diploma and/or transcript the Wilmington College Office of Admission requires all official final transcripts to be directly delivered electronically and/or by printed format from the issuing school to the Office of Admission. If by printed format, transcripts must be delivered in the original, sealed envelope if in-person or by the U.S. mail service. Official transcripts can also be received by an authorized third-party service and/or vendor directly, either electronically, or in the original, sealed envelope. All official final transcripts are required to show issuing school’s identification information complete with school’s official seal and/or signature, student’s identification information, grade progression, date of student’s graduation, and student’s final cumulative grade point average. If, for any reason, any of the above-mentioned requirements are not met or if, for any reason, the Office of Admission has reason to believe that the diploma and/or transcript is not valid or was not obtained from an entity that provides secondary school education, the Office of Admission will make an active inquiry seeking validity and receipt of the required documentation.
