Confused About Transcript Matching

On the AADSAS site under general instructions, it says that you should:

"Arrange for a sealed official transcript, accompanied by a Transcript Matching Form to be sent directly to the ADEA AADSAS Transcript Processing Department from every accredited U.S. and Canadian institution you have attended. ADEA AADSAS will not accept student-issued transcripts or transcripts sent by an applicant."

But this confuses me. How can you arrange for the transcript to be sent WITH a transcript matching form if you don't first have the transcript issued to yourself? Do you go to the transcript processing depart of your college and give THEM the transcript matching form?

How did you guys handle this?

Either give them the form or fax it to them.

When you go request your transcript to be sent to AADSAS, you hand the registrar's office the transcript matching form and tell them to include the form in your transcript. Most schools will know how to handle this as they've done it many times.

Just to make sure, we do have to include the transcript matching form when we send the new transcript for the academic update, right? Or can we just send the transcript this time?

I would send the matching form as well. I never just send them a transcript by itself. They would have a really hard time figuring out who it belongs to.
