Transcripts for Nova Scotia Universities and NSCC

Students applying to a Nova Scotia University or NSCC no longer need to request their printed high school transcript. When you apply online and give them your student number, they will automatically be able to access your high school in progress transcript and your final transcript upon graduation.

Current students applying outside of Nova Scotia will still need to request their transcript from the guidance office.
