word-request

What is called in English the paper with the list of marks of the subjects exams, that students get from the university in the end of the year?
I have friend from Nigeria and he called it "transcription". But when I told it to other friends who are native English speakers they didn't understand what I am talking about.

Best Answer

You are talking about a transcript.

Although, I honestly have never received a "paper" with my college grades. Usually, if you are dealing with institutions like school or jobs, you will have to ask for an "official transcript". This is usually a sealed hard copy to prevent tampering. But nowadays, everything is electronic, so I don't think students usually handle a transcript themselves. The school or some online services will handle the official transcript for you. If you are allowed to view your transcript online and print a copy yourself, that copy is usually referred to as an "unofficial transcript".

In high school, or earlier, I remember receiving a paper. This was called a report card. There was also an official transcript, but that too was handled by the administration. You could also ask for an unofficial copy or an official copy.
