Questions

Answers

Am I able to request previously submitted transcripts be returned to me?

Unfortunately, no.  Once documents are submitted to our office, they become the property of the Office of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies and are not returned to the applicant or sent to another institution/employer.

How can I report grades I have received since submitting my application?

Please use the following link where you will sign in using your Single Sign On (WebAdvisor & Gryphmail login) and complete the form.  You can select the type of request in the details section and include the name of the document as it appears in WebAdvisor (if applicable). 

https://uoguel.ph/ogpsapplicationdocumentrequest

Once the request is fulfilled, you will receive a confirmation email to your uoguelph email address to upload the document to WebAdvisor.

 

 

What makes a transcript unofficial or official?

Unofficial transcripts: All transcripts uploaded to WebAdvisor are unofficial. An unofficial transcript is also one that:

  • Has been opened by the student;

  • Is a photocopy of the original;

  • Was not produced by the school/university;

  • Was translated by the student or a non-professional translation service;

  • If the original seal of the University envelope is broken, the transcript is no longer considered official.

Official Transcripts: Official transcripts are only required if the applicant is presented an offer of admission. Transcripts are official if:

  • They are sent directly to the University of Guelph in a sealed University envelope (the applicant can request that the University send us the official documents directly or the student can receive the document and forward it to the University of Guelph unopened);

  • If the original seal of the University envelope is not broken (the transcript is no longer considered official and will not be accepted as official if it is broken);

  • They must bear an official signature of the appropriate official at your institution, such as the registrar;

  • They must bear the institutional seal;

  • Certified true copies must be stamped and signed by the institution;

  • Digital copies can also be considered official and final if sent directly by the institute to gradapps@uoguelph.ca from an institution email address.

Where should I mail my official transcripts?

If you are offered admission and you choose to accept your offer of admission, please mail final official transcripts to the Office of Graduate & Postdoctoral Studies at the University of Guelph. Do not send your official transcripts until you accept your offer of admission.

If you are offered admission conditionally upon receipt of official and final documents and you choose to accept your offer of admission, please mail final official transcripts to:

University of Guelph

Office of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies

University Centre – Level 3

50 Stone Road East

Guelph, Ontario, Canada

N1G2W1

 

We are also accepting official digital transcripts emailed directly from your previous institute(s) to gradapps@uoguelph.ca

 

Note: We strongly encourage international students to order their official transcripts in advance to avoid a delay in processing final requirements and meeting the conditions of their offer. Once you receive notification of your decision, you will have the required documents in hand and will be ready to forward final official copies to the Office of Graduate & Postdoctoral Studies.
