Hi guys, If I have my own official transcript (still sealed in the mail), can I just mail it along with the matching form to the ADEA or would it have to be mailed directly by my school?

I don't think that's okay. On the matching form it said something like:
For the transcripts to be considered "official" by ADEA AADSAS, they must be received directly from the Registrar's Office.
So I would just play it safe and order another official transcript if I were you.

Call the ADEA and ask them if you can do this. The FAQ does not address this issue.

Despite all of this, a few people on here have told tales of the double-envelope method working for them. If you can correct it, I'd do it the right way. It won't hurt to try the double-envelope way, but you may as well get new ones sent so you're not delayed further if they happen to throw yours out.
The Matching Form:
The transcript must meet the following requirements to be considered "official" by ADEA AADSAS.
- Registrar's seal and/or legible signature included on transcript
- Be received directly from Registrar's office
- Transcript no marked "issued to the student" or "student copy"
