Part of feeling confident is taking charge and being able to, tactfully and respectfully, deflect questions until later and garner the floor back from a long-winded comment. It doesn’t always feel good to interrupt someone or not take a question, but think logically about it and t…
…enaed). For those types of documents, I suggest looking into TrueCrypt – a free tool that creates encrypted folders wherever you want to put them. The link brings you to a page explaining that the software is no longer under development but still secure with downloads at the bottom.

They would need to go to Parchment for any other types of transcript orders. I do my best to explain to students how to tell if transcripts can be sent electronically or need to be mailed, but many students still try to order mailed transcripts.
