    FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES STATEMENT ON TRANSCRIPTS:

    Students are responsible for obtaining OFFICIAL, up-to-date, and complete transcripts for all post-secondary institutions attended and attaching them to their Tri-Agency award application. This includes all undergraduate and graduate studies, completed or ongoing. ONLY official transcripts will be accepted; web or unofficial transcripts will not be accepted and will result in an application being ineligible for the competition.

    The following documents must also be included in their application:

  • Transcripts associated with transfer credits

  • The transcript key/legend for each institution

  • An official University of Manitoba transcript showing Fall 2025 registration is required, regardless of whether or not grades are displayed

    The Faculty of Graduate Studies does not provide students with copies of transcripts from student records or copies of previously submitted transcripts. This includes transcripts from other Canadian or international post-secondary institutions, UManitoba, and transcripts submitted as part of previous or current admission or award applications.

    For transcripts from international institutions ONLY (outside Canada and USA), certified true copies of official transcripts are acceptable. If the transcripts are not presented in one of Canada's two official languages (English or French), a certified translation must be provided, in addition to the official transcripts in its original language. Applicants can contact their home department to request these transcripts.

    ***Missing, unofficial, illegible, or untranslated transcripts WILL deem students’ applications incomplete or ineligible and will not be considered for the competition***.

    NSERC TRANSCRIPT INSTRUCTIONS

    Upload, as one single PDF document, up-to-date OFFICIAL transcripts of all undergraduate and graduate studies. Transcript text must be horizontal and include one copy of the transcript legend key.

    Up-to-date official transcripts are defined as transcripts issued by the Registrar’s Office and dated or issued in the fall session of the year of application (if currently enrolled) or after the last term completed (if not currently enrolled). Opening the envelope to scan the transcript WILL NOT render it unofficial.

    Retain the paper copy of any uploaded transcripts, as applicants could be asked to provide it for verification purposes.
