Thanks for that. Will give it a try in future.KipKip wrote:Pretty much as KIR said. I work in admissions for a UK university and often have to verify transcripts etc. It varies between institutions, with some confirming just on a phone call or email, others say they need the student's consent first. More often than not, if I attach a copy of the transcript that has already been sent to me and include some personal details (name, date of birth, student ID), they tend to confirm that the transcript is accurate, which tends to be enough for us.
It might be they are nice to you as you are in admissions rather than an employer, of course.
