Final transcripts due August 1, 2019
Students who are finishing high school (secondary school), completing the IB Diploma Programme, or writing IB or AP examinations must arrange to have their final, official transcripts received by the Admissions Office by August 1, 2019.
Final official transcripts must be sent directly to USask by the appropriate authority (such as the provincial Ministry of Education, the IB organization, the College Board, etc.)
International Baccalaureate (IB) and Advanced Placement (AP) transcripts are always required if students have completed IB diploma courses or written AP examinations, even if the student is not eligible for, or plans to decline, their transfer credit.
If you or your students have any questions about submitting transcripts, please contact us by telephone at 1-306-966-5788 or by email at admissions@usask.ca.
