Shoud I send original Degree or Not? (From Pakistan)

[sharp12]

I have been offered admission in MASc program at a university. Now they are asking for original degree and transcript. As my fellow Pakistanis now that we have only one official degree, should I sent it? I am confused because of two reasons: first, it seems risky to send it via mail and second, I don't know if I will need the original again for Visa processing or to show the Visa Officer if required.

Should I ask the Uni to accept Attested Copies from HEC / Registrar ?

Thanks in advance

Hi Sharp, I´m not from Pakistan, but don´t send your originals NEVER EVER NEVER. Contact them and see if they accept scanned copies of the original, certifies copies or something else. For what I've researched nothing you send gets back to you, so you will most likely lose your originals. Can´t you request an additional copy? I had to go back to my university and get a copy of my analytic program for WES, since whatever you send them they keep.

No. There is only one official copy, which is not reissued whatsoever. However, I can ask the Registrar to certify a Photocopy and seal it in an envelope.

and i think even if you send you orignal transcript they will not accept it is send from university in sealed envelop .. all other transcript are not acceptable so be sure when you doing this ... go to university ask your registrar for transcript copy and put in university envelop and stamp on closing side so stamp cover both half and then put tape on seal and then you university will accept it .. so best of luck

Don't send your originals in! If you want, you can get a certified true copy of your degree (I'm assuming you mean paper diploma?)
What I did for my application was to have my diploma photocopied then certified by a notary public.

Don't send originals .....never never
Ask ur university whether they accept photocopies of transcript and certificate verified by notary public

If not then u can do this
first photocpy ur documents then certify by issuing officer of home university then put in envelope,,,, then sign at flap cover by register .....seal the flap...

its work

original means sealed documents sent by the institute......

I asked the University and they said a Certified Copy from the issuing University will suffice.

Thanks Everyone.
