No to the best of my knowledge it must be addressed to WES and no body else...send it back to the University Registry if possible and let them prepare an envelop addressed to WES, there should be nothing that shows you ever saw that package even if u went for it from the university and post it yourself.

My friend sent his transcript to wes on his own and it was accepted.What u will do is that make sure it was in a stamped sealed envelope of your school and make sure u use ur school address as the sender if u are sending it either by register mail or courier. no shaking they will accept it.

Goodluck
