Official transcript submission

When you're admitted to Toronto Metropolitan University (TMU), you may need to arrange for the submission of your official transcripts as a condition of your Offer of Admission.

If you applied through the OUAC (external link, opens in new window) , they can arrange to have your official transcripts sent to us from:

  • Ontario high schools
  • British Columbia high schools
  • Quebec CEGEPs
  • Ontario universities and colleges
  • Some British Columbia universities and colleges

Transcript submission questions

This is the entire transcript/report issued by your secondary school/Ministry of Education. This should be on school/ministry letterhead with a school stamp or seal and/or signature and contact information for a school official (e.g. guidance counsellor, principal or director).

This is a document issued by your academic institution. It’s a complete academic record with the institution’s name, your name, course names/codes, credit values, grading scheme, the marks you have received, as well as the graduation credential (if awarded) and official signature from an appropriate signatory (e.g. University Registrar).

Your grades are submitted to the OUAC by your guidance office. Check your OUAC account to ensure there are no errors or omissions and your diploma requirements have been met. It’s especially important to do this when final grades are issued and prior to the closure of schools for the summer. Amendments to your record must be made by your guidance counsellor via the OUAC.

If your Grade 11, Grade 12 and/or other studies were completed outside of Ontario, please arrange for the submission of these transcripts.

Check if electronic submission through the OUAC is available to you. If it’s not, you’ll need to make alternate arrangements to have your transcript submitted.

If you left a public Ontario secondary school within the past five years, you may be able to get your transcript from the last school you attended. Some school boards maintain records in a central office, so you may be referred to the board to get your transcript.

If you left a public school more than five years ago, or if the public school you attended is no longer in operation, you should contact the school board (external link, opens in new window) .

If a private secondary school you attended is no longer in operation, you should contact:

Private Schools and International Education Unit of the Ministry of Education

If you applied via the OUAC and have attended an Ontario university or college, please arrange for electronic submission of your official transcript by logging in to your OUAC application.

If you didn’t apply through the OUAC, make arrangements with your institutions to have your official academic transcripts sent to:

Attn: Undergraduate Admissions
Toronto Metropolitan University
350 Victoria Street
Toronto, ON  M5B 2K3

You don't need to submit official transcripts again if they’re already on file and complete. If you’ve enrolled in more courses, submit a new/updated official transcript. TMU grades will be obtained internally.

Note: Your ChooseTMU Applicant Portal may not reflect documents submitted in a previous year.

TMU is registered to receive electronic documents via Parchment (external link, opens in new window)  and MyCreds (external link, opens in new window) .
