You can send your official PDF transcript through the StudentTranscript Service to a designated email address. You set a security question and then we send them your downloadable official PDF transcript.

Before you Start

  1. Ask if your post-secondary institution can accept password protected PDF transcripts from the Ministry of Education and Child Care
  2. Then you will need:
    1. The name and email address of your recipient
    2. To create a security question and answer for the receiver to verify their identity 
      • Tips
        • ​You may wish to agree on a question and answer with the recipient before you submit your order
        • The question and answer cannot include any personal information (name, birth date, etc.) or it won't work
