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.

A transcript is an official copy of your academic record. It lists all courses successfully and unsuccessfully completed, all courses that were withdrawn, as well as every year that you have attended, including both undergraduate and graduate studies, as applicable.

Note: Requesting separate transcripts of your undergraduate and graduate careers is not possible.

All transcripts are issued in legal name only.

Official transcripts

Request an Official Transcript if you need to provide evidence of your University of Alberta academic record to another educational institution, for employment, or to apply for scholarships or bursaries. 

For most U of A students, official transcripts are issued and accessed through MyCreds™, a secure digital transcript sharing platform. Not only does MyCreds™ provide you with fast and easy access to your certified and official electronic transcript, but you can also share your transcripts securely with educational institutions, employers, government offices and others.

Request an official transcript

Unofficial transcripts

An Unofficial Transcript cannot be used in place of an Official Transcript, but can be used for some types of employment applications, and can also be helpful in planning your registration. Unofficial transcripts are available to current and former students who were in attendance in Fall 2002 or later and have retained Bear Tracks access.

Access unofficial transcripts
