How to Request Official University of Alberta Transcripts

November 15, 2024 - Due to the Canada Post strike, we are unable to mail hard copy documents (including transcripts, verifications of degree or enrolment). This also impacts any ExpressPost requests. Transcripts, verifications of enrolment or degrees can still be requested to be sent electronically via MyCreds. Any requests for hard copy documents will be held and processed after the strike has ended.
