The PSI selection process is now open for this year!
Post-Secondary Institution Selections Using the StudentTranscripts Service:
Students can get their transcript online by using the StudentTranscripts Service (STS) at www.studenttranscripts.gov.bc.ca. Students can also view their Unofficial Transcript of Grades and can send transcripts directly to post-secondary institutions using STS.
What is included on a Ministry of Education transcript?
See Chapter 6 – Student Credentials in the BC Graduation Program Handbook of Procedures - for details about what is included on official transcripts, as well as a sample Transcripts of Grades.
How can students send their official transcripts to Post-Secondary Institutions (PSIs)?
Current students can pre-order interim or final grades to be sent to PSIs directly from the Ministry of Education. They may also be able to authorize select PSIs to retrieve ongoing transcript updates.
How and when the transcript information is sent will depend on the PSI and option selected by the student (see Help Videos for more details). Interim pre-orders for eligible PSIs must be placed by April 23 and final transcript pre-orders should be placed by July 10 - per the 2020/2021 Chart of Important Dates.
Students may make up to 25 PSI selections free of charge within six months of completing their last course. After six months, all STS users are charged $10 per transcript.
How do students get their own copy of a final, official transcript?
The Ministry of Education no longer automatically mails a student’s final transcript to them after graduation. Students must first confirm their current address by placing an order through the STS website and choosing the “Send a Printed Transcript by mail” option. The $10 fee is waived for the first printed transcript order placed within six months after the student has completed their last course.
Schools are still responsible for signing and distributing original graduation certificates to students. Chapter 6 – Student Credentials in the BC Graduation Program Handbook of Procedures provides more detail. Students can also order replacement certificates through STS for a $10 fee.
