Original AND official documents

If you have an academic record or document in your possession, we refer to it as an original document. It is unofficial because it is open and has not been sent directly to the Office of the University Registrar at MacEwan University from the issuing institution or authority.

If your institution/educational authority issues documents directly to you, the institution or educational authority must seal the envelope and stamp/sign-over the back flap of the envelope for us to consider them official. Do not open sealed documents. Opened documents are not official.

Document images uploaded through myStudentSystem or original documents in your possession cannot be considered official by admissions.

All academic records not issued in English require a certified English language translation. This includes transcripts (examination results, mark records, relevé des notes, etc.) and qualifications and any other documents that you are asked to submit with your application.

Translations must:

  • be completed by a translator who is certified to translate from the original language to English
  • include translator information
  • include the original document and the certified translation
  • be complete, literal, word-for-word, and
  • be laid out in the same format as the original document.

Submit your translations through myStudentSystem

  • Scan—in colour—both sides of each original document. Include both sides even if one side appears blank.
  • Save each document as a PDF, JPG, JPEG, PNG, DOC or DOCX file.
  • Upload the document using myStudentSystem:
    1. Log in to myPortal.MacEwan.ca using your MacEwan username and password.
    2. Launch myStudentSystem from the Quick Links menu.
    3. From your student homepage, Select My Documents.
    4. Select the Document Type from the dropdown menu:
      • Document Translations
    5. Click Upload Document. A pop-up window will appear.
      • Click My Device to search for your file, or
      • Drag your file into the box
    6. Click Upload.

Transcripts are considered official only when sent directly from the issuing authority or institution(s). Most institutions/authorities send these documents to us by mail or courier. The processing time varies by institution and they may charge a fee for this service.

If the issuing authority or institution uses a digital delivery method, information must be sent to admissions@macewan.ca. We may not accept digital delivery from all issuing authorities or institutions.

If your institution/educational authority issues documents directly to you, the institution or educational authority must seal the envelope and stamp/sign-over the back flap of the envelope for us to consider them official. Do not open sealed documents. Arrange to have the sealed envelope mailed, couriered or dropped off at the front counter of the Office of the University Registrar.

Official transcripts from authorities or institutions become the property of MacEwan University. Admissions may ask to examine your original credentials (those in your possession like degree parchments). We will advise you via your myMacEwan email, which you should monitor throughout the admissions process.

Track your application online through myStudentSystem, and check your myMacEwan Gmail account regularly for updates and requests related to your application and application documents.

You can access both myStudentSystem and your myMacEwan Gmail account through myPortal.MacEwan.ca.
