York University will make a conditional offer of admission on the basis of hand-delivered transcripts received in an institutionally sealed envelope that carries an official stamp, seal and/or authorizing signature of the issuing institution. To clear the condition and begin your studies at York, we must receive an official transcript mailed directly from the issuing institution.

For transcripts, certificates and other formal academic credentials in a language other than English and French, an official translation from certified translator is required and must be submitted with the transcript.

The Office of Admissions will submit any suspect document to the issuing institution for verification. Applicants who have been found to have submitted falsified documentation or who have failed to declare their complete academic history will have their applications cancelled; if registered in courses the registration will be revoked. Where appropriate other disciplinary action may be recommended to or initiated by the relevant Faculty Academic Council.

Make sure you use the same name on all documentation when you are submitting them to York University. This will ensure that your application is processed without delay.If your status changed (e.g. you got married), as long as you indicate any previous names on your application, the documents will be processed.
