The Status Page for the application provides the following information:

Below is a screenshot of the entire Status Page; see the collapsible panels below the screenshot for additional information about each section.

If the applicant is recommended for admission, a new line for an official transcript with an "Optional" status will appear next to each institution they reported in the application.
Below the table of application checklist items, there is link to get to the recommendations page of their application. There, the applicant can edit their recommendation information. You can learn more about this function in the Letters of Recommendation KB document.

Official Transcript Status
The official transcript status will list the official transcripts the Graduate School has received from the applicant. Please note that even if a transcript is listed, that does not necessarily mean we have all of the documentation needed from this institution.
