International Transcripts

Applicants who obtained a degree from a foreign institution (from non-Canadian or American institutions) must have all international official transcripts evaluated and translated by World Education Services (WES) - www.wes.org/ca/ (Course-by-Course Assessment). Ensure you are on the Canadian page (a maple leaf in the banner). Applicants are responsible for the costs associated with the WES evaluation and any translation required. Applicants must request that WES evaluations be sent directly to the Education Registrar, Queen’s University by the official transcript deadline. Note that it can take upwards of six weeks for WES to receive official transcripts from a foreign academic institution, after which point the WES evaluation can take a week or longer to complete. Applicants should begin the evaluation process as early as possible. Any credentials and/or transcripts evaluated by WES do not need to be sent to the Education Registrar at Queen's University.

Please direct questions concerning international transcripts requirements to education.registrar@queensu.ca.If you are unsure if you need to have a WES report, contact the Education Registrar for advice.
