OUAC
If you are applying to a program through OUAC, you need to submit a transcript request through the OUAC application centre. PDF transcripts are not accepted.
Paper transcripts
We encourage all alumni to use Parchment to order transcripts. If a paper copy is mandatory, you will require Mosaic access. Once you have access to Mosaic you will need to follow these steps to submit an order.
If you need further assistance with your request, please contact Student Services using their live chat or through email.
