Transcripts are a breakdown of a student’s educational performance in school. The transcript certificate contains your grades in every course you took at the university.
The transcript certificate is a requirement for Nigerian students to gain admission to study abroad for postgraduate studies.
Study abroad applicants must request a transcript from their institutions to get admission.
But unfortunately, many students lose their admission to universities in Canada, the USA, Europe, Australia, etc., due to failure to get their transcript from their Nigerian universities.
Also, graduates who request their transcript for other purposes encounter challenges.
This post will show you how to get your transcript certificate from Nigerian universities.
Let me know in the comment if you have any questions or need further clarifications on getting your academic transcript. I would love to hear from you.

Nigerian University Transcript
The duration to get an academic transcript in Nigerian universities is between one (1) to three (3) weeks.
A family member or a friend can get your official transcript on your behalf if you are not available.
The cost of getting an educational transcript is between ten thousand to thirty thousand (₦10,000-25,000) Naira.
Types of Academic Transcript
There are two (2) types of the academic transcript issued to graduates by Nigerian universities;
- Electronic (Soft Copy) Transcript
- Hard Copy Transcript
Electronic (Soft Copy) Transcript
An electronic transcript is dispatched by electronic mail to the email address of your destination institution.
For example, a UNN Alumni requesting for transcript certificate will have his transcript sent to the University of Toronto by email.
After submission of your transcript, your institution will notify you of your request report.
Hard Copy Transcript
Hard copy transcripts are paper copy academic documents.
They are sent by tertiary institutions to the destination request using carrier services like DHL, FEDEX and EMS.
Hard copy transcripts are expensive because they require carrier service charges.

Chisom,
Most schools do not provide students with transcripts.
You can instruct your institution to send a copy of your transcript to the various schools all at once.
That will bring down the cost.

I’m applying to multiple universities, do I need to pay each time I need the transcript? Or can I get a copy and scan it myself?
How do I go about it please?
