Official Transcripts

An official transcript is a copy of the student’s permanent academic record that is imprinted with the signature of the Registrar. Transcripts reflect all courses taken or transferred to Kwantlen Polytechnic University; partial transcripts will not be issued. Completed credentials will only appear on a transcript once a student's graduation has been conferred by Senate.

Note: Students are encouraged to review the information in their unofficial transcripts prior to initiating a request for an official transcript, to ensure accuracy.

The form can also be accessed through your Student Profile. Students who are unable to log in should contact IT Service Desk for assistance.

Ordering Transcripts for Ontario Universities 

If you are applying to undergraduate admissions at any Ontario university, your official KPU transcript must be sent through the Ontario Universities’ Application Centre (OUAC) electronic system. This is the standard process for all Ontario universities, and it ensures your transcript is delivered securely and correctly.

  1. Submit a separate transcript request for each Ontario institution you are applying to.
    • If you're applying to more than one Ontario university, you must place one order per school.
  2. When placing your order, select:
    • Delivery Method: Standard Delivery.
    • Recipient: Choose the specific institution code for the university you want your transcript sent to.
      • Do not select “OUAC” as the recipient.
      • OUAC will receive the transcript from KPU electronically and forward it appropriately.
  3. KPU will send your transcript electronically to OUAC, and OUAC will deliver it to the institution you selected.

Important Note: If you are sending a transcript for a program outside general undergraduate admissions (e.g., graduate studies), the transcript cannot be sent through OUAC, and can only be sent by standard delivery mail.
