Transcripts
An official transcript is a detailed record of your complete academic history at the University of Regina. Official transcripts include a record of every term that you have attended, undergraduate and graduate courses, awarded degrees/diplomas/certificates, and transfer credit received.
An official transcript is issued as a secure digital document that you can share with any recipient of your choice. The University of Regina issues secured official transcripts through MyCredsTM | MesCertifMC. Only verified institutions and organizations can issue documents in MyCreds, and students cannot alter them. Digital signatures support document integrity. Opening the PDFs in Adobe Reader (version 9 or later) provides a “blue ribbon” icon confirmation of documents being tamper free.
Additionally, unofficial transcripts are available for viewing in UR Self-Service. The unofficial transcript can be printed and used for a variety of purposes. Your unofficial transcript may meet the requirements of many external organizations, saving you from having to order your official transcript.
Note: A financial hold will prevent a student from viewing their unofficial transcript.
