Yes, students are required to send the transcripts either through post or electronic delivery. The transcripts and other documents will be considered official only when the institution last attended by the student submits them.

Yes, you can. But you will have to submit a new application. Also, as the application data will be pre-populated, you will be able to mark any changes or updates, if required. It won't be mandatory for the students to submit their official test scores again if they had done so when they filled out the application earlier.
