A transcript is an official record of your academic history at York. It is a comprehensive summary of your course enrolments, the grades you earned and sessional academic decisions (e.g. "May proceed in Honours"). Transcripts are typically required when you are applying to another postsecondary program (e.g. graduate school); in addition, a potential employer, government agency or insurance company may ask you for a transcript in order to authenticate your complete record at York.
If a third-party (e.g. prospective employer, recruitment agency) only needs to verify the completion of your degree, you may direct them to the MyCreds Verify™ graduation verification system (GVS).
You may request a copy of your transcript, or have a transcript sent directly to a third party. Please check with your intended recipient before ordering your transcript.

Students from these Faculties who request to hold their transcript request until grades are released, should select their appropriate Faculty from the delivery date drop-down menu (online request) or checkbox (paper request form).
- If you are planning to graduate and require your transcript to reflect that your degree has been conferred, please refer to the timelines before submitting your request to ensure that your degree conferral will appear on your transcript.
