one of an international scholorship program (Taiwan International Graduate Program www.tigp.com) asking for original documents.
to my query regarding original documents they replied.
***As to the documents (original transcript and original English proficiency test report), we will not return them to the applicants. ***
I wonder is it an international practice or only this office is asking for original documents.
Hope have informative replies.
Re: Asking for Original Credentials
Normally, the universities issue multiple transcripts to students when needed. Same goes with the TOEFL or IELTS results if requested. Those are sent to universities/authorities and not returned.
I understand the situation was different for government run Pakistani universities. They would not issue more than one and if they did, it was a cumbersome process.
Re: Asking for Original Credentials
As KakaBalli said thats what universities require, generally in my case the school had directly sent transcripts to the other institution or in one case i actually got it re issued and sent it to them, with that said yes i believe it is general practice in North America atleast, i am not too certain about Asia that much.
Hopefully answered your question :k:
Re: Asking for Original Credentials
Transcripts and Test results are commonly requested by institutions and even some employers to be directly sent from the granting institutions. As an applicant, you're often required to contact your credential granting institution to request transcripts to be sent directly to the institution you're applying to (usually a small fee is required).
