Frequently Asked Questions: Selkirk College Transcripts

Transcript are ordered through your student record. Once you are logged in, you will see Order Official Transcript on the left, click to that screen and follow the prompts.

A transcript is considered official by mail, in a sealed envelope either direct from institution to institution, or from student to institution, as long as the envelope is NOT opened by the student when they get it. It can then be placed into another envelope and mailed off to the institution of choice.

By email, a transcript is only considered official if its direct from institution to institution. If I was to email a copy of a transcript to a student, and they in turn emailed it to an institution, they may not consider it official.

To log into your student record, you will need your student number and PIN. If you cannot remember, you can email us for assistance.
