How to Authenticate This Official PDF Transcript

This official PDF transcript has been transmitted electronically to the recipient, and is intended solely for use
by that recipient. It is not permissible to replicate this document or forward it to any person or organization
P
other than the identified recipient. Release of this record or disclosure of its contents to any third party
without written consent of the record owner is prohibited.
Y
This official transcript has been digitally signed and therefore contains special characteristics. This
document will reveal a digital certificate that has been applied to the transcript, and for optimal results, we
recommend that this document is viewed with the latest version of Adobe® Acrobat or Adobe® Reader. This
digital certificate will appear in a pop-up screen or status bar on the document, display a blue ribbon, and
FR
declare that the document was certified by the University of Colorado Boulder, with a valid certificate issued
by GlobalSign CA for Adobe®. This document certification can be validated by clicking on the Signature
Properties of the document.
OM
The Blue Ribbon Symbol: The blue ribbon is your assurance that the digital certificate is
valid, the document is authentic, and the contents of the transcript have not been altered.

Invalid: If the transcript does not display a valid certification and signature message, reject this
transcript immediately. An invalid digital certificate display means either the digital signature is not
authentic, or the document has been altered. The digital signature can also be revoked by the
CE

transcript office if there is cause, and digital signatures can expire. A document with an invalid
digital signature display should be rejected.

Author Unknown: Lastly, one other possible message, Author Unknown, can have two
RT

possible meanings: The certificate is a self-signed certificate or has been issued by an unknown or
untrusted certificate authority and therefore has not been trusted, or the revocation check could not
complete. If you receive this message make sure you are properly connected to the internet. If you
have a connection and you still cannot validate the digital certificate on-line, reject this document.
