Getting Your Transcripts

Last year, the government of Saskatchewan implemented a new way to get your transcripts. It is a parntership with a reputable company called MyCreds. Many Universities around the world use this company to issue their trancripts. There are a few steps to getting these and the first step is to get your personal email onto your My School Sask account. In order to do this, please fill out this form for us: https://forms.gle/VKcC4uMgdepBMkiX7

We will go over the other steps in our grade 12 presentation. We also have a handout at Student Services that will walk you through the steps.
