Common Questions and Answers:

*Q – Do I have to upload all of my undergraduate transcripts?*

A – Yes, all post-secondary transcripts must be included, even if no degree was obtained or sought at a particular university (e.g. transfer or exchange credits).

 

*Q – Can I upload a web transcript?*

A – No. All uploaded transcripts must be official (originally issued by the registrar).

 

*Q – What if I do not have a first-class average as determined by my current/previous institution(s) in each of my last two years of full-time study?*

A – Your graduate program may consider forwarding your application to the university-level competition as an exceptional case, but this award opportunity is highly competitive, and they must be able to put forward a strong justification for why you should be considered despite not meeting this criteria.
