I need a quick clarification. For the evaluation of my studies, would WES accept if I BY MYSELF send them sealed transcripts from my University but addressed to my agent? I have them with me, unopened.

No to the best of my knowledge it must be addressed to WES and no body else...send it back to the University Registry if possible and let them prepare an envelop addressed to WES, there should be nothing that shows you ever saw that package even if u went for it from the university and post it yourself.

A big congrats to all with updates Gabrilla,Alpharm,Jodav,Hapkopguma and Gina.

Let me also use this opportunity to inform the house that i also received a mail from accra yesterday for passport pick up. I sent in my passports on 5th and it got to acccra on the 7th. So on the average it takes around 2 weeks for passports to be ready after submission.

Oluspe i hope you have written accra somebody somewhere might have forgotten to send your mail, i also added a family member but this was before medicals.

My personal people Tango, Temi, Olamide and others still waiting, i pray accra opens the flood gate for PPR mails .Amen

My friend sent his transcript to wes on his own and it was accepted.What u will do is that make sure it was in a stamped sealed envelope of your school and make sure u use ur school address as the sender if u are sending it either by register mail or courier. no shaking they will accept it.

Goodluck
