you have got to be kidding me!

I need to send transcripts to Georgetown for the paralegal program.

Apparently the only way I can get a transcript from Williams is to physically walk into the Registar's Office or to send them a letter by US Mail requesting a transcript.

That's preposterous. Way to be part of the 19th century, Williams!

ETA: On the other hand, Williams didn't charge me $20 for the transcript. They didn't charge me anything. And after charging me $20, AMU still hasn't delivered the transcript, nearly two weeks later.

can you fax it? My grad school makes you print out a form and either bring it to them, fax it, or snail mail it. Yes its an outdated way to do it...

Yes, checking the actual Registrar's page (instead of the Alumni program's page), one can fax too. Really, though, no PDF? no Word file? no online request form? Reediculous.

Sadly, that's reasonably common, I'd be tempted to even go so far as to say "standard," but that's probably taking it too far. Though I have no idea why it is that way at so many schools.

Ask them if you can Telex the request.

Perhaps if I sent a carrier pigeon...
