Transcript Information
All applicants must send one transcript from all post-secondary institutions attended. (Current and former UBC or UBC Okanagan students are not required to submit UBC transcripts. They must submit all other transcripts from any other institutions they may have attended.) If the official transcript does not indicate the degree name and the degree conferral date, then an official degree certificate is also required.
All transcripts (and degree certificates) must arrive at UBC Okanagan in sealed and endorsed envelopes issued by the home institution to be considered official. If the issuing institution does not mail original academic records directly, then stamped, attested true copies of academic records in sealed envelopes and endorsed by the registrar of the home institution may be accepted as official.
Applicants, who have graduated from institutions where the transcripts (and degree certificates) are issued in a language other than English or French, must arrange to have one set of all official academic records issued in the original language AND accompanied by certified English literal translations. If the issuing institution does not provide English translations of academic documents, the applicant must arrange for official English translations to be done by a certified translator. All English translations must also be submitted in sealed, endorsed envelopes from the translator.
UBC Okanagan Graduate Studies does not accept non-official photocopies, academic records that have been opened or do not come in sealed envelopes endorsed by the issuing institution, or those that arrive without the official seal of the university. We do not accept photocopies notarized by a notary public, or endorsed by a translator, lawyer, professor, judge.
Please do not send transcripts or degree certificates that are not in sealed and endorsed envelopes. It will only delay the processing of your application.
Current UBC Okanagan students, and alumni of UBC Vancouver or UBC Okanagan do not need to submit UBC transcripts. (They must submit all other institutional transcripts.)
