Applying for student visa for Japanese language school, but my university won’t give me my transcripts. I only attended college for 1 semester and while I have well beyond the required Japanese study, it was all self-taught so shouldn’t need those transcripts as evidence. Do I really need them?

   I would like to just apply listing my high school, my diploma, and evidence of my studies.

   I was only in college for one semester, 19 years ago! Despite having my loans paid off, my university still is unable to release my transcripts due to some kind of system problem.

   Can I just not list that university and ignore that part all together?

   Thanks for any help!

2. A system problem preventing transcript releases is very often due to a user having an outstanding charge on their account.

   Any other kind of problem would be negligence from them not to fix.

3. You shouldn’t need transcripts to go to language school, but talk to the school you want to attend and they will inform you of what documents are needed.
