Sounds like from this year, SMOE will begin checking directly for transcripts -- no more ordering ourselves. They want to check themselves, because they apparently feel they can do it more throughly if they do it themselves.

They also applied to loosen restrictions on who can get an E-2 (more countries allowed), although it hasn't passed yet.

Wonder how they'll do this... many unis won't let just anyone get transcripts??

Good. But I don't believe they'll put this in place. This makes too much sense.

I don't know about other countries, but under the Canadian Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act if my university was to release my transcripts to anyone (without my permission), they'ed be open to a lawsuit.

Giving permission will entail as much, if not more, 'work' than just just ordering the transcripts. One good thing- you can now get SMOE to pay for them.

I am soooooo busted if they do this.

As a recent applicant, I was required to have my school send my transcript directly to EPIK. I was told they no longer accept transcripts from the applicant.

I brought four extra sealed transcripts with me to Korea.

This is illegal in the US, too. I'm the only person who is legally allowed to receive my own transcripts.
