Question 1

What is the difference between a bachelor's degree certificate and an academic transcript?

Accepted Answer

A bachelor's degree certificate is a formal certificate issued upon graduation confirming the award of the degree. An academic transcript is a detailed record of all courses and grades. They are different documents and may each require separate sworn translation.
