We require a transcript(s) for each year of your secondary and post-secondary education. If your transcript isn’t in English, a translation is required. You can apply using unofficial transcripts, as long as you submit official transcripts prior to enrolling.

For post-secondary institutions, we need a course-by-course credit evaluation from an independent, reputable company such as World Education Services to determine transfer credits.
