  4. TRANSCRIPTSHow do Universities Get My Grades? • Official School Transcripts may be requested at the office (Mrs. Migneault). Not all schools require this • Make sure you check the Universities’ application procedure.

UVIC, UBC) • P.S.I. (Post Secondary Institution) forms must be filled in correctly for official transcripts to be sent from the Ministry to your chosen schools. This can be done now!

  5. PSI Transcript Forms • Post Secondary Institutes (PSI’s) require a copy of your official transcript in order to process your application to their school.  The Ministry of Education provides you with an opportunity to have your transcripts automatically sent to the institutions of your choice for NO FEE.  • Students access the online form by logging into the • https://www2.gov.bc.ca/gov/content/education-training/k-12/support/transcripts-and-certificates
