HIGH SCHOOL TRANSCRIPTS
Applicants currently attending a high school within BC who complete the Choices form available from their high school are not required to submit an official transcript as it will be automatically submitted directly to Kwantlen from the Ministry of Education. Applicants must include their BC Personal Education Number (PEN) on their application for admission. Applicants will be notified by mail if their transcript is not received.

Applicants currently attending a high school outside of BC will be required to submit an official transcript of their final grades before they will be eligible for final admission to Kwantlen. An official transcript is a record of your academic progress and standing at the time of leaving school. The transcript must be certified and forwarded directly from the issuing institution or government ministry or delivered by hand in an envelope on which the seal has not been broken.

Applicants who have graduated from or left high school outside of BC within five (5) years of applying for admission may be required to provide a copy of an official transcript of their final grades as proof that they have met the English proficiency requirement.

For applicants who have graduated from or left a BC high school within the last five years, their final Grade 12 transcript may be available on the BC Ministry of Education electronic file. To assist in locating it, applicants should provide their BC Provincial Examination ID number or Personal Education Number (PEN) on their application. If the information is not available from the Ministry file, the applicant may be requested to obtain a certified copy from their school or Ministry of Education as proof that they have met the English proficiency requirement.

Applicants who graduated from or left high school more than five (5) years prior to the date on which they intend to commence their studies at Kwantlen are not required to provide a high school transcript unless it is needed to verify they have met the English proficiency requirement or to satisfy program and course admission requirements.

Note: All applicants who plan to enrol in courses with high school course prerequisites are required to provide an official high school transcript, even if they have been out of school for more than five (5) years.

POST SECONDARY TRANSCRIPTS

Applicants who plan to enrol in courses with college level course prerequisites that have been completed at another post-secondary institution must submit a Request for Transfer Credit form and provide an official transcript for evaluation. This should be done at least six (6) weeks prior to the date the applicant is scheduled to register. There is a fee for evaluation of documents from institutions outside of BC.

PROOF OF IMMIGRATION STATUS

Proof of immigration status is required. All applicants who are not Canadian citizens must provide their original immigration form or a notarized copy to verify their immigration status, or their Permanent Resident Identification (I.D.) card.
