I am so sorry about Kara.
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

I am so sorry about Kara.
From far away and only knowing Kara from those I know, I'm greatly saddened.
Msbelle, a number of jobs I've applied for asked for transcripts. I was able to go to my college website, set up an alumni account, and download "unofficial" copies in PDF for free. I sent them to potential employers with a note that I'd be happy to send official versions upon request.
Daisy and all, I'm so sorry.
I am so sorry about Kara. Much love to all of you.
On my way to work, I was listening to the Fresh Air interview with Bobby Womack, which has many great gems, but one thing I learned is that Pam Grier is Rosey Grier's niece! I had no idea.
I somehow wrenched my hip in my sleep and just now got banana all over my black dress. And my dumbass employer's website won't let me see my goddamned leave balance. AWESOME.
msbelle, Calli is right. These days there is an assumption that you can pull an unofficial transcript from your colleges' website at any time, and replace it with an official transcript when requested.
Try not to actually look at it though, because the damn things are a reminiscence trap. Researchers use this to their advantage in obtaining higher quality retrospective data: "Let's talk about the fall of your sophomore year now. You were taking Organic Chemistry and . . . Where were you living . . What days were your big drinking days . . . How did that impact your early morning Chemistry class . . ."
The last time I looked at my college transcript, there were classes I had literally no memory of. I mean, to the point that if someone asked me if I had ever studied X, I would have said no.
Thanks all.
