International transcript requests

If your transcript is going outside Ghana, check the recipient's requirements first. Many international universities and evaluation services only accept transcripts sent directly by the institution.

WES and credential evaluation

Credential evaluators such as World Education Services (WES) usually require transcripts to come directly from the institution in a sealed envelope or through a verified electronic channel. Always include your WES reference number.

TranscriptHow is not affiliated with WES or any evaluation service. Always confirm requirements on the evaluator's official website.
