APPLICATION INFORMATION
Just a few facts when applying for College and University:
Always do it through applyalberta if applying to a school in Alberta
You do not need to order a transcript if applying in Alberta, as they will get it from your MyPass account. (you will get an email notification from mypass letting you know if a school ordered it on your behalf - you don't need to do anything)
Make sure you read your emails as there are tasks to complete once you have applied. i.e: creating a student account through the Post-Secondary Institution.
If a school is asking for a temporary transcript, it can be found in your MyPass account under "Detailed Academic Report"
