Parchment e-transcripts
We now use Parchment Ordering Services, a secure and easy way to order a transcript and/or enrolment letter.
When setting up your Parchment account, make sure you have all required personal identifiers (full name, date of birth, student ID and the last four digits of your social insurance number). The system will automatically pull your official transcript and send it to the email destination of your choice, within an hour or two. The email is sent using Blue Ribbon Certification technology and is a secure way to transfer your credentials.
e-Transcript attachments
Please upload your cover letter/attachment when requesting your e-transcript through Parchment and it will be included in the email to the recipient.
