E-letters

E-letters are electronic letters available online to undergraduate students. We hope to provide e-letters to graduate students in the future.

E-letters do not arrive via e-mail. An email notification will be sent to your preferred email account on file when a new e-letter is available. You are required to access these letters online in the myAU student portal.

We have enabled you to view your letters online to provide a more convenient and timely way for you to access your letters. We recommend that you save all e-letters to your PC because e-letters will only be available online 6 months after they have been created.

Not all letters are available online; those not available will be printed and mailed to you through Canada Post. In the future, we hope to provide more letters electronically.
