Are copies of official documents acceptable to send to my school?
Many schools do not accept copies as official forms of documentation. In order to speed up application processing, schools might accept a copy at first and then request the original document by mail later. Contact your school's admissions office directly to discuss the school's preference in terms of receiving required documents and make sure to allow sufficient time to send originals documents if necessary.
