Urgent Question

Hi, I'm an international applicant from Canada. I'm in my last year of highschool, so I'll be graduating in June of 2026. I applied through UCAS, but they don't have my academic transcript. Do I ask my guidance counsellor to send my academic transcript through email directly to the university admissions office? Please help!!

Don't panic! The universities will get in touch with you if and when they need info from you, like your transcripts, certificates, etc. At which point you can sort out to send them anything they ask for.

Good luck with your uni application :smile:

Hi @caseyd.22. I was a former student so I will be able to offer you advice on this. Seen as you applied through UCAS and given the fact they do not have your initial academic transcript then you should ask your mentor or member of staff at your school so they can send your transcript to all the admission offices for the universities you applied for. Unfortunately UCAS do not approve full transcripts for many international qualifications so many universities would rather see the official transcript prior to making a complete decision. I hope this helped and good luck! 😀
You only need to send any documentation if it is specifically requested.
