What transcripts do I need to submit as part of my admission application?

We require a transcript from every post-secondary institution you have attended, regardless of whether or not you earned a degree there. It is not enough to send us only the transcript for your most recent degree. A transcript is not your degree certificate but your academic record listing the courses taken, grades received, and the name and date of the degree awarded (if any). It is your responsibility to contact the university or college and request that they send the transcript directly to us and pay any associated fees. If the university or college will not issue a transcript, we require that the refusal be confirmed in writing by the institution.

How do I submit my transcripts?

What if my transcript is not issued in English?

Transcripts in a language other than English must be accompanied by an English translation from the university’s translation service. If that is not possible, you must:

• Make a photocopy of your copy of your transcripts or ask the university to provide you with a second copy of your transcripts. Do not open a sealed, endorsed envelope containing transcripts intended for Regent College.
• Take the copy to an official English translator and ask them to provide a complete, word-by-word, literal English translation.
• Tell the translator to put both the original language photocopy and the English translation into a sealed envelope.
• Mail us the sealed envelopes from the translator.

Academic records must be translated in their entirety, including any information that appears on the reverse side of the document. You are responsible for all translation and postage costs.

What if my university issues only one original transcript or degree certificate?

Make photocopies of your original academic records and send them to the university. Ask the university to:

1. Verify that the photocopies are consistent with its records.
2. Attest that the copies are true photocopies and stamp them with an official university stamp.
3. Put the attested, stamped photocopies in sealed envelopes endorsed by the Registrar.
4. Mail the sealed, endorsed envelopes to Regent College.

If that is not possible, ask the school to write us to:

1. Confirm that it no longer retains your records or that it does not issue transcripts.
2. Confirm that you have studied at the institution.
3. Provide details (name of degree and date awarded) of any degree you earned from the institution.

What if I'm applying from outside of Canada and my credit card doesn't allow international transactions?

Ask someone you trust and whose credit card can make international transactions to consider making the online payment with their credit card on your behalf. You may safely copy the URL of the payment screen and email it to them. The payment will be properly associated with your account. You may also pay in the following ways.

In person (by a third party):

• Cheque, debit, or cash, in Canadian dollars and drawn on a Canadian bank.

By mail:

• Bank draft or bankers cheque, in Canadian dollars and drawn on a Canadian bank. Available for purchase from local banks.
• By cheque from a Canadian or US bank account. It must be legal tender outside the US.

Online via PayMyTuition or Convera:

• These services exist specifically to help international students pay school fees and tuition. See our Payment Methods section for details.
• Please inform the Admissions team when you have paid using one of these methods so that they will know to expect your payment.

We do not encourage payment via wire transfer or direct money transfer due to high fees. If none of the payment methods are available to you, contact your Admission Counsellor.
