Faculty of Science

If you have previously attended another recognized college, university, or technical institute, you are considered a college/university transfer student. Post-secondary transfer admission averages are calculated using the Admissions Grade Point Average (AGPA). The AGPA is calculated by combining recognized academic post-secondary courses and attempted U of R courses.

Official college/university transcripts must be sent directly from the post-secondary institution(s) to Enrolment Services at the U of R. We accept mailed and e-mailed transcripts sent directly from the issuing institution(s). We also accept electronic transcripts delivered via vendors authorized by the sending institution such as Parchment, Digitary (MyCreds), National Student Clearinghouse, and others. Finally, we accept transcripts from online verification portals that have secure log in portals such as International Baccalaureate and Cambridge Exams.

We will also accept official World Education Services (WES) International Credential Advantage Package (ICAP) assessments. When you are completing the request, you will choose "University of Regina" and "Office of Undergraduate Admissions" as the "Recipient", which can be sent either by mail or electronically.

All documents that are supplied in support of applications for admission become the property of the University of Regina and will not be forwarded to another institution.
