For students and alumni who aim to pursue education abroad, get their credentials assessed by agencies like WES, CES, IQAS, ECE, or apply for jobs and immigration programs overseas, obtaining official academic transcripts from ANU is a crucial requirement. This comprehensive guide will walk you through every step of the process — whether you are in India or living abroad — to help you apply for and obtain your transcripts efficiently, without unnecessary delays.
What Are Academic Transcripts and Why Are They Important?
Transcripts are official academic records issued by a university that provide a complete summary of a student’s academic performance. They include:
-
Details of all subjects studied
-
Marks or grades received per semester/year
-
Total marks/percentage/grade point average
-
Degree name, specialization, and year of passing
-
Official seal and signature of the university authority
-
Enclosure in a sealed, signed, and stamped envelope
Transcripts are mandatory for:
-
Admissions to international universities
-
Credential evaluations by authorities like WES, IQAS, CES, etc.
-
Immigration and permanent residency (PR) applications
-
Employment with multinational organizations
-
Licensing and registration with foreign professional bodies
Without official transcripts, international institutions and agencies may reject or delay your application.

Step 1: Collect and Prepare Your Documents
Organize all your academic records in the correct sequence. Make sure you have scanned copies of each document if applying online or through a document service. These should be high-resolution and legible.

-
Demand Draft (in favor of the university registrar or controller of exams)

Online payment gateway (if available)

Make sure to properly label your documents and include clear instructions for delivery (e.g., “Send directly to WES Canada”).
Transcript Processing and Sealing Procedure
Once the application is received, ANU verifies the academic records internally. If there are no discrepancies, the university will:

Print your transcript on official letterhead
-
Authenticate with the Controller of Examinations’ signature and university seal
-
Place the transcript inside a sealed envelope stamped across the flap
This sealed envelope is considered valid only if it remains unopened and unaltered.

-
Self-collection: You or an authorized representative can collect it in person
-
Courier/post: Have the transcript delivered to your address within India or internationally

Direct dispatch: Transcripts can be sent directly to WES, CES, IQAS, ECE, or to the university/institution abroad
