Step 4: Submit Supporting Documents

The University of Lethbridge will consider unofficial documents and documents reporting interim grades or courses in progress to make a conditional admission decision but reserves the right to request official documents and to verify all transcripts and test scores. Any offer of admission made on the basis of unofficial or interim documents will be conditional upon receipt of final official documents. Such documents must confirm the applicant’s eligibility for admission, including current competitive admission standards.

Unofficial and interim documents may be submitted by email to admissions@uleth.ca or by mail to:

Transcripts
An official transcript is a complete academic record of all individual courses taken, grades achieved, and any credential(s) earned at an educational institution.

Applicants who have attended institutions not participating in ApplyAlberta must arrange to have official transcripts sent directly to:

Applicants currently studying at institutions not participating in ApplyAlberta or any educational institution out-of-province are strongly advised to arrange at the time of application for the submission of final official transcripts to ensure that they are received by the applicable document deadline.

The University of Lethbridge will accept documents received from World Education Services (WES) as part of an International Credential Advantage Package (ICAP) as official.

It is the sole responsibility of the applicant to ensure that all required documents are received by the University of Lethbridge before the final official document deadline.

Applicants may be requested to provide a copy of their passport or other identity documentation (e.g. marriage certificate) during the application process. In these cases, a photocopy or scanned copy of the document(s) is sufficient and should be submitted directly to the Admissions Office. Email is not a secure method of sending personal information; applicants are encouraged to fax or mail this documentation.

Certified literal English translations are required for all admission documents that are not issued in either English or French. A certified translation should be issued by one of the following:

• An official translator at the issuing institution
• A translator accredited by a professional association of translators in Canada
• A translator who has received accreditation through a federal, provincial, or municipal government in Canada
• The Canadian consulate, high commission, or embassy in the country where the documents were issued
• A sworn or public translator in the country where the document was issued

The translator must include a photocopy of the document(s) from which the translation was prepared and an original statement indicating the translation is accurate and authentic. The translator must also include their contact information (including identification number and/or seal, name, address, and telephone number), printed name, and signature in the statement. Translations may be submitted to Admissions by the translator or the applicant.

To ensure timely processing of your application, please note the following:

• If the name on your document(s) is not identical to the name on your uLethbridge application, we cannot match your documents. If you did not disclose your previous names on your application, please email your uLethbridge ID number and documentation proving your name change (e.g. marriage certificate) to Admissions (admissions@uleth.ca).
• Transcripts must be submitted from each institution attended. Results for courses taken at one institution that are reported on transcripts issued by another institution are not acceptable.
• Do not submit multiple copies of the same document.
• Please do not submit any documents prior to submitting your uLethbridge application for admission.
• Submit additional documents such as reference letters and resumes only if requested. Unnecessary documents will not be considered and will delay the processing of your application.

Applications for admission and all supporting documents are collected, managed, and retained in accordance with the Confidentiality of Student Records policy.

All documents received in support of an application become the property of the University and will not be released or copied except to other employees of the University as required by University procedures regarding admission, registration, and awards and financial support administration.

In accordance with the University of Lethbridge Records Management Policy, admission documents are retained for a period of two years if the applicant is not accepted or does not enrol at the University following acceptance.
