A secondary school or high school transcript is an official document that contains the compilation of your secondary school results.
The WAEC or NECO result cannot serve as your secondary school transcript. It is different from the SSCE O’level certificate.
Universities and Colleges abroad like the USA, Canada, UK, Russia, Norway, Germany, etc., require your secondary school or high school transcript as part of the admission requirements.
Secondary schools in Nigeria give secondary school transcripts to students who want to study abroad or for other purposes.
It will take you less than one (1) week to get the secondary school transcript.
This post is about the procedures to get your secondary school or high school transcript in Nigeria.
Let me know in the comment section if you have questions or need further clarifications. I would love to hear from you.
Secondary Transcript in Nigeria
A secondary transcript in Nigeria is an academic document containing a compilation of your results from Junior Secondary School to Senior Secondary School (JSS1-SSS3).

Can you rephrase it for me to assist you?
Cheers.
Is it compulsory to submit transcripts from grade 9th to 12th for Korea government scholarship
Because my school only gave me transcript of grade 10th to 12th
Toyeebah,
The transcript for your school is very much okay.
I wish you success with your scholarship application.
Good day sir
If my high school sends my transcript to the college I’m applying to does the transcript count as official?
Cos some universities say something about sending through third party services, which, according to my research, is another hassle on its own
Yes, it counts as official if your secondary school sends the transcript on your behalf.
Hi
Please my principal said they can’t give me the transcript that they’ll have to send it themselves and I don’t understand as I’m applying to study in the us
Gabriel,
That is not a problem.
The school will send it on your behalf.
Hi my secondary school said they can’t give me the transcript that they’ll have to send it themselves, I don’t understand the whole process since I’m applying to a school in the u.s
Gabriel,
That is not a problem.
The school will send it on your behalf.
hello, please how much is the transcript and how can I get it
Akpan,
The cost depends on your secondary school.
There is no fixed cost for the secondary school transcript.
What If the school only asked for grade 12/SS3 transcript, can I show my waec result for the case.
Yes, in addition to your SS3 results.
Hello.
Please I want to apply for a scholarship by September and they need my high school transcript and graduation certificate.
But the thing is, I did my secondary school in Edo State and wrote my WAEC Lagos. Where do I get my transcript from? Would it be somehow if I give my WAEC result from one school and transcript from another school?
What do I do?
Hello Catherine,
You will get your secondary school transcript from your secondary school in Edo State.
It is unlikely that the school in Lagos will be able to prepare your transcript which would have been the easiest of the two options.
Please I want to ask, is High School in US thesame as Our Secondary school in Nigeria?
Temitope,
In what aspect are you asking about their similarities?
My school don’t seem to get how to make my transcript
Please do schools make the transcript them self or do they get them from the education board
Success,
The school makes the transcript themselves.
Inform your school to compile your results. There is nothing more to it.
Sir please about this transcript of a thing….cause i want to apply for a school outside and they said i should paste my transcript So is it from my JSS to SSS?
Yes, Stanley
A compilation of your secondary school certificates, just as specified in this post.
Let me know if you have any further questions.
Yes sir
I tried contacting you but you aren’t responding…
I tried you email,and twiiter
Your whatsapp isn’t going through
Please, I want to understand…
I finish my secondary School in 2018 and I have problem with my waec result, then I write another waec in 2020 does it mean I graduated in 2018 or 2020?
2018
Please I just want to ask I attended a different school from my preschool up until the end of jss2 and switched to a new school where I finished both junior and senior secondary school so am I to get a transcript from both schools or can the one I finished from serve?
Get the transcript from the school where you finished your secondary school education.
Please I attended my junior and secondary school at one school but I left at ss2 to another school to write my waec exam how can I get my transcript since I did my waec at different schools from my junior school?
Abe,
Visit the two schools to get your transcripts.
Let me know if you have further questions.
The school I wrote my WAEC is no longer in Existence but I went to another school from JSS1 to SS3 but only wrote the WAEC in another school which is no longer in existence,the question now is how do get the transcript
Elvis,
For what purpose do you need the secondary school transcript?
Thank you for the fine work you are doing. Please, I’m really confused. I attended jss1 to a particular school then changed to another school and wrote junior waec there. Then , moved to Lagos where i studied very hard on my own then wrote GCE without being attached to any school again. In this scenario where do I get my high school transcript?
I’m currently trying to do my master’s in Canada please help.
Hello Ceejay,
Your situation is a bit complex since you do not have an academic record for senior secondary school.
My recommendation is to see if your former school where you wrote your Junior WAEC can provide you with a transcript.
Also, the school you are applying to study in Canada may provide a waiver for your transcript.
Do well to contact the school.
Hello poster, for the benefit of those asking for a sample of high school transcript, I can send one to you so they can see what it looks like. I am a school principal and will love to assist in clarifications.

Please sir I schooled totally in a different location from where I wrote my weac and the school I wrote in says they have never given transcript and they don’t give transcript please can I get from any other register school with a token without side effects
Hello Jonah,
I’ll recommend you apply for a transcript waiver from the school.
Pls I need help, my junior secondary school couldn’t find my results so they can’t give me transcript. My question is can my senior secondary school compile both jnr to snr school transcript for me or can I use only my snr school transcript for my admission application?
Hello Melody,
You can use only your Senior secondary school transcript.
Pls if I’ll need to ask the school aboard in which am planning to apply for a school transcript waiver, when do I do it
Should it be before I send all my application documents or when I am send all my application documents.
Hello Promise,
It’ll be preferable for you to apply for the waiver before you send all your application documents.
But any of them can serve.
Hello Chiamaka, please can get a sample of the transcript as my principal doesn’t have any idea on how to create such documents
Hello Promise,
Sadly, I do not have a sample.
Please i need your help
After my junior high school,
Went ahead to attend another school for my senior high school.
I did my waec in another school entirely….
Now i don’t know where to collect my transcript from…..
Im really confused cause of the name of the school on my waec result will be different from the school I did my secondary education…
Hello Ayomide,
You can take your transcript from all the schools you attended.
Please give answers to my questions
First, am so happy to find this page cos it has given me sleepless nights finding answers to my questions.
I attended a govt secondary sch from my jss1 to ss3 and wrote my waec but unfortunately I failed maths and English put passes with my remaining subjects as an art student with the name as Ekhator Uyi Vincent, but I moved to another sch to sit for the waec exam again but I passed my all my subject as a commercial student without writing literature with my name as Ekhator Vincent Uyi, so I want to ask which of the secondary sch transcript do I have to submit or it requires I submit from both schools? Now am applying for a course abroad that belongs to the art department which I didn’t pass very well but when I obtained my OND I tendered both waec results because I studied mass communication so it requires literature. So am quite confused if my commercial waec results can get me the course abroad or it doesn’t matter,?? So the other school where I got my waec results shows how my name is supposed to be arranged which was an error from my previous school because I only used only two names which was ekhator Uyi so it was mandatory to include the 3rd name which they didn’t fix. So I want to ask again if that won’t be an issue if using both schools transcript because of the rearrangement of names but I later after some few years swear an affidavit to it. Can I attached the two waec results to get the art course am applying for. Please I need you to give me a guide pls.
uyivincent8@gmail.com
Hello Vincent,
I’m sorry I’m only giving you a reply now.
Some schools abroad don’t need your WAEC result. You can use the transcripts from your Government school, including the transcripts from Jss1-SS2 and then submit the other 1 you got from the other school for SS3.
For the mix-up in your name, you can write to the school explaining what happened.
Alright, if I make use of my OND result, would there be need for a secondary school transcript? Since am submitting the transcript for my OND…..
Hello Vincent,
You can make use of your OND transcripts if you do not have secondary school transcripts.
But you might need to write to the school telling them why you do not have your secondary school transcripts.
I attended my secondary school to boys,, so l left the school in 2011 because of lack of money, and l dont take weac or naco there, so in 2020 I just go to girls secondary school and take my neco only, so now which school will I go now and get my high school transcript
Hello Emmanuel,
You’ll get your transcript from both schools for the classes you attended in each.
Hello if I submit my transcript do I still need to submit my waec…is submitting my waec a must?
Hello Rita,
You might need to submit your WAEC result at the embassy but schools abroad normally do not need it.
Hey
Pls I wrote my Waec in a different school entirely and most of the sch that I went for in jss1-3 wasn’t a government approved sch and they don’t have transcripts
So can I create a new transcript from the school that I wrote my Waec
Please I need your answers
Hello Njoku,
If you can, I’ll recommend you get your transcript from the school where you wrote your WAEC. If not, you can proceed without it.
Hello,
I want to get my high school transcript, but I only attended ss1-2 in the school (2016,2017), then attended a tutorial to take the 2018 WAEC but failed one of my core subjects. I then took WAEC GCE in 2019.
I was wondering if i can present my SS1-2 transcript and Waec GCE 2019 to colleges in the US I intend applying to.
I also wanted to know if here would be an issue with having a WAEc year different from Graduation year
Hello Emem,
You can use the transcripts you were able to get.
The difference might be a problem for some schools but you can write to them and explain what happened.
Those seeking for transcripts whose schools are no longer in existence should go to any secondary schools with a little token you will get it
Won’t this be seen as falsification when one present the waec result from a different school?
Hello,
1. Please, where is most of samples of secondary school transcripts I hv seen they all contain only 9th, 10th, 11th and 12th class. To my own understanding those classes are jss3, ss1, ss2 and ss3.
2. My second Question is in our case (Nigeria), we normally hv 3 terms in a session.
Dear Ilyas,
Can you please paraphrase your questions?
Please, I contacted my school director on secondary school transcripts he said has not done such before. I then Explained to him what is all about. I got some samples of transcripts online but those ones are not indicating jss 1 -ss3 but they only carried Grade 9, Grade 10, Grade11, Grade 12, how is our transcripts looks like, so that I can show to my School Director. That is can i get the sample of our Nigeria transcripts?
Dear Ilyas,
I apologize for the late response. I’ve been trying to get a copy of the transcript but it has proved unsuccessful.
If you can get only the transcript SS3 class, you can use it.
Is the transcript like statement of result
Yes, Presley
It is a statement of results containing your grades in secondary school.
Usually, colleges abroad, especially in the US, only request for transcripts of your high school education which is Grade 9-12 or JSS3-SS3 in Nigerian education. Including your JSS1 and 2 is not relevant. In a place like US, those classes are under middle school not high school
Please, I contacted my school director on secondary school transcripts he said has not done such before. I then Explained to him what is all about.

Hi good day Mister,
I’m quite confused n lost here and I’ll really appreciate your help please
So, I went through 3 different secondary schools due to my parents travel and work and presently I’m not within those schools (i.e) I’m outside those states but fortunately I just completed NCE and I have my results here. Can I use this NCE or rather process a transcript from this NCE and use it as my transcript for an undergraduate studies abroad?
I really hope this gets to you on time
Thanks in anticipation
Dear Janet,
It is important you get all your academic transcripts. The NCE transcript will not be enough.
I did my sss classes in two different school how do I get my transcript record
Hello Ajayi,
You can get your transcript from each of the schools for submission.
That would work.
Okay sir. What is a waiver and can it be used in place of the transcripts when applying for a university abroad ?
Goodness,
A waiver happens when you cannot submit your secondary school transcript.
The institution can offer you admission without the transcript certificate.
Let me know if you have any further questions.
Okay sir. What’s a waiver and can it be used for schools overseas in place of the transcripts ?
Goodness,
A waiver happens when you cannot submit your secondary school transcript.
The institution can offer you admission without the transcript certificate.
Let me know if you have any further questions.
Good day, i have two questions. Do i need the transcripts to get admitted into a nigeria university ? And can i use my waec results in place of the transcripts when applying for a university overseas ?
Hello Goodness,
1. Yes, the transcript is necessary, except you get a waiver.
2. You cannot use your WAEC results in place of the Secondary Transcript.
Let me know if you have any further questions.
How true is it that I can get my transcript issued for me after the school can’t provide it. the guy is actually asking for $$
Yomola,
Is the person a Principal of your school?
How Tru is it that someone can issue a transcript for me using my waec result while I paid him off
Emmanuel,
Is the individual a principal of the school?
Hello,
I went to my secondary school to collect my transcript, but it is only ss3 transcript they give. I asked them for my js3-ss3 thinking that was what I should collect. I discovered it’s supposed to be from js1-ss3 so I’m in the process of getting a new one. My school gives grades in both A-F and 1-100 so on the transcript my grades per trimester are in A-F and my cumulative grades per class are in 1-100. Would this be a problem in my admissions process?
Hello Esther,
I hope you are having a wonderful day.
The grading system of your secondary school would not be a problem.
I wish you success with your application.
Hello again,
Thank you so much for your response.
The pleasure is mine.
I wish you success with your application.
Please if you are applying to different schools whom do you address your transcript to?
Dear Ismail,
You send the transcript to the various schools you are applying to.
Hi thanks for what you do, I graduated from my 2012 and attended a particular school from JS 1- SS2 I wrote my exam in SS3 in another school, going back to my first school to collect my transcript I found out the school no longer exists, I managed to get the principal number asking her for my secondary school transcripts but she said she can’t help me that I have to go bring all my results from JS1 to SS2 before she can do the transcripts and I don’t have those anymore, I really don’t know what to do, I am confused cos i need it for my application what do you think I should do sir? Would appreciate your response
Hello Joy,
First, I am sorry for your experience with getting your secondary school transcript.
I see the problem is you cannot get your secondary school results to your principal.
The next option is to send a message to the admission office of the school you are applying to study.
Explain you are unable to get your secondary school transcript due to reasons beyond your control.
I am hoping they will be able to provide a waiver for your transcript.
In that case, you would submit your WAEC result in place of your secondary school transcript.
You could also press forward to see if your former principal can help you with your transcript.
Greetings sir,
I have a plan to travel abroad in the next few months, Canada precisely. I graduated from high school 2020 and the COVID and ASUU strike made me to still be in 100Level, we haven’t done any tests or exam not to talk of getting transcripts from my university. So my dad says if I get there, they will send me back to like SS2 in Canada. I don’t want to go back to high school. I’ve done my research and I see that’s not the right way. Now, I want to go get transcripts from my secondary school. But I need your advice sir. What can I do?
Hello Paul,
I hope you are having a wonderful day.
You will not go back to High School when you arrive in Canada because you have your WAEC certificate.
However, you would need to apply for undergraduate admission to Canadian universities.
To get your Secondary school transcript, follow the procedures in this post.
Let me know if you have further questions.
Hello sir… please I recently changed my name due to some issues I wanna know if that would affect me in any way… the name I used in my secondary school is different from the name I use now
Hello Tovia,
I hope you are having a great day.
You will not have any challenges with your change of name.
But you would be required to provide official documents authenticating your name change.
Let me know if you have further questions.
hi, my question is that, i finished my Higher Elementary (grade II). how can i get the transcripts?
Hello Mr Gupa,
I hope you are having a great day.
It would still be the same method to get your transcript result.
Visit your former school.
Meet with the principal to request your transcript result.
Let me know if you have further questions.
Hello good afternoon, please I’m in a delima now, I did my junior secondary school in a separate school and my SS1 and Ss2 in a separate school then my senior waec in a different school. My question now is, is it possible to submit the transcript of my Ss1 and 2 and then my waec from another school?
Hello Angela,
I hope you are having a great day.
To answer your question, your WAEC result does not count as your transcript.
You can get the transcript for your Junior Secondary school plus for your SS1 and SS2.
That would do.
Let me know if you have further questions.
Hello
Hi
Hello pls want can I do. I did my Jss1 to Ss3 in the same school.
But did my waec and neco in another school(private) , so am asking can I still use the school transcript even though I did not do my ssce there, won’t it affect the online process sir.
Hello Sunkanmi,
It depends on which school would give you your transcript.
Try out the Private school you took your WAEC and NECO exams if they can process the transcript for you.
That would resolve your dilemma.
Let me know if you have further questions.
Please I want to ask, is High School transcript in US thesame as Our Secondary school in Nigeria?
It is not the same.
Good day sir,
Please, what is High School Transcript Grade.
I am filling a form online and they asked for this apart from the transcript they already asked for.
Thank you
Hello,
I hope you are having a great day.
The High School transcript grade is the cumulative total of your academic performance in secondary school.
I advise you to contact the school you are applying to study for further clarification.
I would love to hear the response from the school concerning the High School Transcript Grade.
Hi,I already got admission but I think I need help on this,so I did my secondary school in Benin but the school no longer exists so how do I go about my transcript,pls reach me on mail..will need ur expertise
Hello Ese,
It is quite unfortunate your former school no longer exists.
The only option you have is to contact the school informing them of your predicament.
I am hoping they would provide a waiver for your secondary school transcript.
Let me know if you have further questions.
Greetings, Sir.
Please, suppose I have a good GCE (private) WAEC result, but my school transcript is not good (in terms of the grades). Do you think the foreign school I apply to, will still accept my request (that’s coupled with my SAT), despite the poor High School record ?
Hello Paul,
I hope you are having a great day.
To answer your question, it depends on the school you are applying to study at.
Most, universities abroad would accept your secondary school transcript for admission.
The best thing to do is to contact the admission office of the school you are applying to study for a review of your transcript.
I am optimistic they will accept your transcript.
Let me know if you have further questions.
Good evening, i schooled in a community school back then, and I went to my principal only for me to be told that we don’t have transcript. What do I do now
Hello Faith,
In your case, you will have to inform the school you are applying to of your predicament.
They could offer you a waiver for the transcript.
Hello sir,
Can I get admission to Harvard using my transcript, with SAT test?
Dear Promise,
You’ll need your secondary school transcript but the SAT test is no longer compulsory. Below are the necessary requirements
-Common Application or Coalition Application, Powered by Scoir.
-Harvard College Questions for the Common Application or Coalition Application Harvard supplement.
-$85 fee (or request a fee waiver).
-SAT or ACT (with or without writing) – optional for 2022-2026 application cycles.
-Optional: AP or other examination results.
-School Report (which includes a counselor letter) and high school transcript.
-Teacher Report (2).
-Midyear School Report (after your first semester grades).
-Final School Report (for admitted students only).
Good day
I schooled in 2 different secondary school. Jss1-3 government school. Sss1-3 private school. But I’ve gotten the transcript for my senior secondary school remaining that of junior secondary but I have my basic education certificate from junior secondary school which is the government sch.. so my question is can I upload the basic education certificate along side with the senior secondary transcript from the private sch. Just to certify and back it up that I truly attended jss and can that basic education certificate also serve as my transcript
Hello James,
I hope you are doing well and having a great day!
Your Basic Education Certificate cannot stand as a transcript.
Have you tried to get the transcript from your Junior Secondary School?
Your best bet is to send a mail to the school you are applying to study of your intention to substitute a part of the transcript with the Basic Education Certificate.
I am optimistic you would get a green light to go on with the upload.
Let me know if you have any further questions.

Thanks but if I may ask do I need junior secondary transcript since i already got one from my senior secondary school transcript. Isn’t my sss transcript enough ?🤔😐
Yes, it should but that would be up to the school you applying to for admission.
Send the admission office a mail.
Hello
Am applying for under graduate scholarship abroad and came a place where they asked me to upload my
1. High school Academic certificate
2. High school Academic Transcript
3. Highest Academic certificate
4. Highest Academic Transcript
Pls sir find some time and explain the difference them for me.
My highest Qualification is O’level certificate.
Hello Tokai,
1. Your WAEC or NECO result.
2. A compilation of your academic performance from JSS 1 to SSS3.
3. WAEC or NECO.
4. Same as 2 above.
Good day,
Please i would like to be Clearfield i schooled in the northern part of Nigeria and my school principal said my school don’t give transcript
Jude,
That is quite unfortunate.
You may have to submit your O’level result in place of your transcript.
Good day.
Please, I wanted to ask if it’s possible to get scholarship abroad for N.C.E. students.
Precisely, Business Education course.
And, if no, can I study any other Business related course with my NCE result?
Tha k you.
Hello Mercy,
It is possible to apply for a scholarship abroad but you’ll be applying as an undergraduate.
You can only be admitted to school abroad as an undergraduate starting from year one. This is because NCE is considered a Post High School diploma abroad.
must the logo on the school transcript be the same on your high school o’level result
Martins,
It depends on if you sat for the WAEC or NECO exams at a different school.
