ABOUT TRANSCRIPTS
The KBLMT requires an official transcript from your school.
In order to be official, it must either be:
Mailed directly to the KBLMT by the school or
In a sealed envelope that is enclosed with your application form.
A broken seal on the envelope will make it “unofficial” and it will not be accepted by the KBLMT
