Admission decision release date: Decisions will be posted to your Choose³ÉÈË´óƬ Applicant Portal on an ongoing basis.
Upload required documents
Once you have received an email acknowledgement of your application, you should begin the process of submitting your transcripts and other supporting documents.
Secondary and post-secondary transcripts are required for the assessment of your application. Plan to collect these at the time of application. A copy of an official transcript issued by your school or your student record obtained from a self-serve system is sufficient.
You can upload unofficial transcripts in the Choose³ÉÈË´óƬ Applicant Portal. ³ÉÈË´óƬ will request official transcripts if you're admitted.
- Transcripts are considered official when sent to us directly by the issuing institution or via the OUAC.
- Official transcripts generally bear an original seal/stamp and/or official signature from an appropriate signatory. They also show the names of the courses you’ve completed and are enrolled in, the marks you’ve received, credit values, grading scheme, as well as the graduation credential (if awarded).
If you’ve attended a school outside of Canada, visit the official transcript submission page for more information about required transcripts and how to submit them.
If your documents are in a language other than English, you must provide them in the original language, as well as certified/notarized literal English translations.
Are you a current/previous ³ÉÈË´óƬ applicant or undergraduate student? Be sure to indicate this on your application. You don't need to submit transcripts again if they’re already on file and complete (and you haven’t enrolled in courses since). ³ÉÈË´óƬ grades will be obtained internally.
Note: your Choose³ÉÈË´óƬ Applicant Portal may not reflect documents submitted in a previous year.
