A transcript is a certified record of a students academic performance throughout a course of study, including all courses attempted, grades earned, and degrees and awards conferred). It is an official academic record that provides proof of education, and it is often required as part of the application process for admission to a university or college.

Some key features of a transcript include:

• Enrollment history: A transcript provides a full enrollment history of a students academic career, including all courses attempted and grades earned).
• Degrees and awards: A transcript also includes information about degrees and awards conferred to the student).
• Grading system: Transcripts provide details of the grading system used by the institution, which can vary between countries.
• Personal details: Transcripts also contain personal details of the student, such as their name and student ID number.

Transcripts may be referred to by different names, such as marksheet, marklist, report card, or cumulative record file (CRF) in the United States). In the European ECTS system, transcripts are called Transcript of Records (ToR)).

It is important to note that a transcript is different from a marksheet or certificate, as it provides a complete academic record of a students performance, whereas a marksheet or certificate may only provide information about a specific course or degree program.
