Official Transcript Requirements

What is an official transcript?

Official transcripts are issued directly to Concordia University of Edmonton by a ministry of education, educational institution or other authority. Depending on the issuer, official transcripts may be sent electronically, by mail or by courier.

To be considered “official”, transcripts that have been mailed, emailed or couriered must:

  • Show final grades for all courses taken at the institution.
  • Bear the institution’s seal/stamp and the presiding official’s original signature (e.g. Registrar).
  • Be sealed in an institution envelope and sent directly to our office by the issuing institution.
  • Electronic documents must be sent directly from an official email address of the issuing institution.
  • From institutions outside of Canada: Once sealed, it must be endorsed across the back flap of the envelope by the appropriate authority at the issuing institution (e.g. Registrar).
  • Note: Documents such as Statement of Results, Student Copy, Confirmation Copy, faxes, photocopies, notarized copies, or emailed copies are not considered official.
  • If a degree has been awarded, the transcript must be issued by the degree-granting institution and clearly show: 1) the full name of the degree awarded; 2) the degree conferment date (year, month, day). Otherwise, an official letter of degree confirmation OR a certified-true copy of the degree certificate by the appropriate authority (e.g. Registrar) must also be included.

International Students

International student applicants must submit official transcripts, which are documents that list the courses studied, grades obtained, standing in class, and any other related academic information.

International student applicants will need to request all transcripts from the institutions they attended or from the government ministry in charge of education. These documents should be sent in a sealed envelope directly from the institution(s) or ministry to the Admissions Office at Concordia University of Edmonton.

Official transcripts normally bear the sending institution’s official seal, stamp or imprint, and the original signature of the issuer. Documents such as Statement of Results, Student Copy, Confirmation Copy, facsimiles, or photocopies are not considered official documentation and will not be accepted in lieu of an official transcript. Attested copies of official transcripts are acceptable providing the attested copy is sent from the sending institution and bears the institutions stamp and original signature.

All transcripts and other international student admissions documents received by the Student and Enrolment Services Office become the property of Concordia University of Edmonton and will not be released or photocopied for the applicant or forwarded to another institution.
