Student Post-Secondary Institution (PSI) Selections – July 10

To support their PSI admissions, Grade 12 and adult students are encouraged to visit the StudentTranscripts Service before July 10, 2020 to authorize release of their transcript data to their PSI selections. The Ministry of Education distributes transcript information to post-secondary institutions (PSIs) following the student's selections on that website.

For Students: StudentTranscripts Service

Students can access the StudentTranscripts Service at: www.studenttranscripts.gov.bc.ca/. To get started, they must first create a Basic BCeID account to access their transcript information.

Help videos, including "Registering for a BCeID and Accessing the StudentTranscripts Service" and "How to order/send a transcript to a Post–Secondary Institution," are available on the website along with other help documentation.

Students need only complete their PSI selections once in the current school year but may add to their selections at any time up to July 10, 2020. Students may make up to 25 selections free of charge within six months after completing their last course. After six months, students will be charged $10 per transcript on the StudentTranscripts Service.

Distribution of Transcripts

PSIs receive student transcripts through a variety of methods including XML data transfer, electronic batch files, printed transcripts by mail and more. PSIs with the new XML data transfer capability* receive transcript information throughout the year. For PSIs on the electronic batch process, interim transcript information was sent by the Ministry in early May, and final year-end transcript information will be distributed in late July. Unless the student needs to send their printed transcript now, the student should leave the default option to allow the PSI to accept transcript information as it becomes available.

Batch Process Transcript Information
