Official transcript from undergrad institute

So I was recommended for admission by the department and the graduate school requested official transcript from my undergrad institute with degree received in the transcript before I can be officially accepted. But the problem is, I won’t receive the degree until this coming May and so my official transcript with degree won’t be available until around mid June. Anyone in the same situation? If yes, how did you handle it since typically we have until April 15th to accept or decline the offer, so the official acceptance has to come before that.

Thanks!

It’s very much a formality, and you only need to do it after you accept a school’s offer, so don’t worry about the April 15 deadline. Once you receive your degree, the school can independently verify with your school that you did indeed graduate, which will be sufficient until the time your official transcript is available
