Final Transcripts and Confirmation of Degree Completion

[dreamer12345]

Hi Everyone, 

This might seem like a really stupid question but I was hoping someone would be able to shed some light on this. 

The U of C wants us to send our final official transcripts with any courses taken during fall/winter 2017/2018. I am assuming that for this transcript to be acceptable the grades need to be approved by the dean correct? I ask this because I am from the U of A and although all my grades for this past year are present on my transcript they have not been approved by the dean and so they are termed "unofficial"  until they are approved. When I called the office of the registrar however, they informed me that they might not be approved until early June which leaves me a pretty short window of time to get the transcript to the U of C by the deadline. Has anyone here had any experience with this matter? If anyone here knows or has asked about the final transcripts and whether they need approved grades please let me know!! (I just dont want to wait around for the grades to be approved when they did not need to be as long as they are on the transcript). 

Also, the conditional acceptance states that if you had not completed a degree, but said that you would, you need to provide proof of completion of the degree. Is this with the transcript or is there a different verification of degree form that we have to send in? 

Any help on these matters would be super appreciated!! 

Thanks

To your last point: if your transcript says you've received a degree, that's sufficient. If it does not, you'll need to find some way to send in proof that you have, in fact, received a degree. Or will by some point.

I would perhaps email the school, let them know exactly what you just said, and ask them to advise. I’m not sure you can trust anyone on this website to know the requirements of the UME.

Thank you! Yes I finally got in touch with them and they let me know I can send the transcript as it is now to be sure they have at least a copy of the grades by the June 18th deadline, and then to send them one again once the grades are approved.
