Transcripts & Supporting Documents
Deadline for submitting documents
All transcripts and educational documents must be submitted 60 days after submitting your application or by your program's application deadline, whichever comes sooner. Please monitor MyNAIT portal to determine your deadlines. If your documents are not submitted by this deadline, your application may be cancelled.
Applicants to Health and Life Sciences programs that require a program interview will have 30 days after submitting your application.
Documents from within Alberta
If you attended an Alberta high school or a post-secondary institution in Alberta (participating in ApplyAlberta), NAIT will order and receive your official Alberta transcripts on your behalf.
If you're currently attending high school in Alberta, NAIT will order your final transcripts for you. If you haven't finished a course, we may ask for proof of enrolment to confirm you're registered in required courses. See more details below.
Confirm that your transcripts were successfully received by checking your To-Do list in your MyNAIT portal. If NAIT is unable to obtain your Alberta high school or post-secondary transcripts, an error notice will appear as To-Do list item on your application once your application is reviewed. You will need to contact Alberta Education to confirm your demographic information.
Documents from other schools within Canada
NAIT cannot obtain transcripts on your behalf from any institution outside of Alberta. If you attended high school or a post-secondary institution in another Canadian province, you must order your official transcripts from the province or post-secondary institution where you went to school and have them sent directly to NAIT.
Ways to provide your official transcripts to NAIT
You can provide your official documents to NAIT in one of the following ways:

| Share digitally through MyCreds™ |
Some schools or institutions may digitally share their transcripts with you via MyCreds™
- When sharing them with NAIT, please use the Share with Organization feature to find NAIT directly in the MyCreds recipient organization list.
|
| Have the issuing institution mail or courier directly to NAIT |
Many schools and institutions may use this method, using NAIT’s mailing address listed on this page. |
| Deliver in-person to NAIT’s Student Service Centre |
If you have received an official transcript in an unopened envelope, you may submit the sealed envelope in person to the Student Service Centre.
Opened transcripts are not considered official.
|
| Have the issuing institution email documents directly to NAIT. |
Institutions that send official documents via email can send them to submittranscripts@nait.ca. Emailed transcripts must be sent directly from a verified institution; transcripts sent from a personal email address will not be accepted. NAIT will verify the validity of all emailed transcripts. |
All official documents, including those delivered in person, become the property of NAIT and will not be returned to applicants.
Don’t forget: Upload copies of unofficial documents to MyNAIT
Make sure you upload scanned copies of your documents to your MyNAIT portal – these are known as unofficial documents. Admissions can use these to do an initial review of your application so you can be considered for conditional admission. NAIT still requires official transcripts to make a final admission decision. Learn how to upload documents.
Applying from out of province? Be sure to look up your high school course equivalencies prior to applying.
