After the student has been admitted,  the student should request that all "transcripts" from
any accredited source be sent to the Admission and Records office of Alexandria, assuming the

who process through the MSO of Alexandria will request their records be kept at our  Home

would need to contact the Counseling Office of the Campus their record is at.
