What is a transcript?

A transcript is an official record of courses a student has successfully completed at each grade level in high school and will only reflect the courses a student has received a passing grade in (50% and above). Official transcript reports are generated at the end of a student’s graduating school year, after a student has graduated or upon request. An In-Progress Transcript is typically prepared for post-secondary admission purposes while courses are still under way, or upon request.

Credit Checks

Credit checks will be done by the school counsellors in first and second semester to ensure that all grade 12 students meet the requirements to graduate. 

Applying to a University/College outside of  Nova Scotia?

• If you are applying to institutions outside of Nova Scotia, you will need to request your transcript through our Google Form and you will be responsible to mail it to the university or college yourself.  Each transcript is sealed in an envelope and cannot be opened by the student. Opening the sealed envelope makes it “unofficial” and will likely not be accepted by the university or college

• Sometimes universities or colleges will allow you to upload PDF (or electronic) versions of your transcripts. All you need to do is indicate that on the Transcript Form. The PDF will be emailed to you by Ms. Foley

Note:  Applications to post-secondary institutions will be considered incomplete if they have not received an official transcript.

Need your transcript for an Ontario post-secondary institution?

• If applying to an Ontario University you will need to provide us with your OUAC number that you are given once you sign up on the OUAC.ca website. There is space on the Transcript Request Form for this number

• This number is required to be on your transcript when we produce it, so that it can be matched to your application at the university level
