case by case,取决于各个学校 graduate program 的 requirements。
比如我的是:
An official academic transcript is required for each post-secondary institution (university/college) you have attended. The official transcripts must be sent directly to the Faculty of Graduate Studies and Research from the host institution in a sealed university/college envelope bearing an original university seal or stamp. Notarized copies of transcripts will not be accepted.
所以就必须从学校那里取得一份密封的成绩单,扫描版无法使用。
但其他学校要求不一样,比如有的是:
You may submit all of the documentation through the online application system. If paper documentation is required, you will be advised at the appropriate stage of the application process. Most Departments require that you send a hard copy Official Transcript directly to the Department you are applying to, in addition to the scanned copy of the Transcript you will upload to the online application system. Please refer to the Department website for complete mailing address.
