1. Approach your college registrar

2. Mail it yourself
   Make sure your transcripts are sealed and signed/stamped by your university

Make sure the end file is a PDF document.

Hi Ella,
That is a great question.
See, while an SOP is written in a more professional tone, your Personal Statement will have a hint of emotion in it.
In a Personal Statement, you have to explain why you chose the university and the program based on your personal experiences.
For example, how, a friend/family facing an issue gave you an idea for a project, and you fell in love with the subject.
See where I am going with this?
You don't have to be formal. You have to be your true, authentic self.

Your university-specific paragraph should talk about the university, the program, and why they interest you.
You could relate to the student bodies and the committees you wish to join.
Mention any professors you know and admire.
Outline why you are the best choice for the program.

This shouldn't take more than 200-220 words.

Adding to what Nikhil said...
You can also ask the university to extend its deadline, if possible
