Interim Transcript of Grades

Current students can request copies of their Interim Transcript of Grades from the Counselling Office Secretary. These Interim Transcript of Grades contain all completed courses at the Grade 10, 11 and 12 level which lead towards graduation requirements. They also include all courses which are scheduled for the current year. Failures and withdrawals are not included. Please note it is the responsibility of the student, not the school, to ensure the Interim Transcript of Grades is received by the postsecondary institution. It is not the practice of the school to mail, fax, or email the Interim Transcript of Grades unless there are extenuating circumstances. In no instances will the school email an Interim Transcript of Grades to a student. Students are encouraged to participate in the Electronic Post Secondary Institutions Selections process available through the Ministry of Education during their Grade 12 year. This will facilitate their marks submissions to the post-secondary institutions.
