Important Transcript Information

IMPORTANT transcript information: Immigration Authorities will not accept a transcript with the 鈥淐OPY鈥� remarks on it. The use of an e-transcript with the 鈥淐OPY鈥� remarks will lead to the refusal of your PGWP application. The 鈥淐OPY鈥� remarks will appear when you print the e-transcript or download it improperly. For information or questions about the e-transcript please see 海角社区 Student Record鈥檚 website.

You can request your official printed transcripts via听Service Point's dedicated webform.听For online applications, you may scan a PDF of the printed official transcript.
