Submitting Transcripts

Sending multiple transcripts in one file causes delays to student assessment. When sending transcripts to us at admissions@stfx.ca, please send each student transcript and/or course list individually in PDF format using the following naming convention:

"Last name, first name - transcript" or "Last name, first name - course list" (depending on what document you are submitting)
