a Bachelor's program or any other undergraduate course are required to submit a secondary
school report and transcripts (report cards) of the final exams. Most universities accept

Documents may be certified as true copies by a justice of the peace, or a notary public,
or a solicitor, or a commissioner of oaths, or an official of the institution that issued
