The key idea

Check all pages, subjects and identifying details, then compare the uploaded file with the version you reviewed.

Put it in context

Document requirements vary by recipient and stage, so connect every file to a specific request. Check readability, completeness and consistent details before sending. Keep a copy of what you submitted and the instructions used, making later requests for additional information easier to answer.

Practical steps

  1. Count pages
  2. Check student details
  3. Open the saved file

A practical example

For a multi-page transcript, check that the combined file contains every page in order. Compare the count with the original and open the final output.

Apply this to your own plan

For each step, note what you already know and what needs confirmation. Choose the first item you can act on and define a clear output: documented information, a completed checklist or a focused question for the right organisation. After acting, review what changed in your plan before moving to the next item.

Should I send every available document just in case?

Follow the recipient's list and clarify uncertainty. Organised submission of required items is preferable to extra files containing unnecessary information or conflicting versions.
