Qualifications Transcripts...
This section is going to cost you money, but remember I don't want a penny of it.
What you will need to do is contact your qualifications authority. Here in Scotland it's the Scottish Qualifications Authority (SQA). Whatever you do DO NOT have the documents delivered to your home address. All documents MUST be delivered from one institute to the next; if it isn't done this way you will need to start again and it WILL cost money each time. So be warned!
If you can check with the college or university what type of transcript they require and that way you will only buy what you need however as everything works off GPA scores then you will probably need to select the course-by-course (with GPA and course level) option which at present cost $205 (approx £130), copies cost extra as will postage. To see what the latest costs are go here: http://www.wes.org/fees/schedule.asp
World Education Service (WES) - Start by going to the WES website http://www.wes.org/ and select the student link. You can if you wish download the form and do it manually however I recommend doing the online version as there are quite a few pages to complete and you can return later if you wish to update anything and you can also follow how the process is advancing.
Once you have completed all the relevant sections you will be told to wait for your documents to be assessed once they arrive at the WES office. But before logging out of WES take a copy of the reference number your account was issued with as you are now going to use this in the next step.
UK Qualifications - Now we need to start this process by requesting a copy of all your certificates with transcripts from the relevant qualifications authority. These need to be sent directly from the qualifications authority to WES in the USA, as stated above DO NOT have these document delivered to your home for you to send to WES, they WILL NOT be accepted by WES even if the seal of the envelope is unbroken. I cannot stress this enough! In the section where you are asked to provide a delivery address there is only one for courier services:
64 Beaver St, #146
New York, NY 10004, USA
* This is a courier mail handling facility accepting DHL, FedEx,
UPS, etc. Documents should not be hand delivered.
Also leave a note giving the student reference number you wrote down from the WES site. This way your documents will be tied to the account.
Once you have done all this and paid the relevant fees it is a case of waiting for WES to receive and transcribe your documents. After WES has finished their work you and the nominated college or university will receive a copy of the transcripts.
