Request transcripts

Request official transcripts from all post secondary institutions attended. Transcripts must be sent to the GDLD Student Services Coordinator, Athabasca University directly from all accredited institution(s).

Applicants submitting any official documents (e.g., transcripts) in a language other than English must provide an official translation of such documents.

All student academic qualifications will be assessed for their Canadian equivalence.

In the case of a Bachelor of Laws (LL.B.) or Juris Doctor (J.D.) degree awarded by a university law school listed in the "Directory of Commonwealth Law Schools", or in the American Bar Association Approved Law Schools list, equivalence will be presumed and no further assessment is necessary.

Law degrees not so listed, and other degrees from outside North America, must be assessed by an agency such as the International Qualifications Assessment Service (IQAS). Application forms for the International Assessments are available online from IQAS.

It is your responsibility to send your completed IQAS application form, fees, and information to:

International Qualifications Assessment Service
9th Floor, 108 Street
Building 9942-108 Street
