It says they want transcripts. Does that mean just graduate ones, or undergrad also?
Transcripts are frequently requested from search committees, though not in 100% of cases. Look carefully at the wording in the job app; sometimes it specifies “graduate transcripts” and sometimes it says “all transcripts” or “undergraduate and graduate.” Send what is asked for. If you can’t tell from the ad, send them all. A frequent objection to sending transcripts is the cost of obtaining official transcripts from each school – not bad if you are only sending out five apps, but it can pile up if you are sending out fifty or a hundred. If a school specifies “official” transcripts must be sent, it is generally a good policy to send them. However, if they do not specify that official ones must be used, you can send a photocopy. A sentence in the cover letter indicating that photocopies of transcripts are enclosed but originals will be sent upon request is a nice addition. Official transcripts may be required if the school makes you an offer. Some schools do not ask for transcripts up fr
