Check the requirements

The minimum admission requirements depend on your academic background:

• Quebec CEGEP
• Canadian high school

  • Already a Concordia student? – Internal degree transfer

Or, the minimum admission requirements could depend on your situation:

• Undergraduate microprograms

Some programs require you to provide additional documents specific to the department to which you are applying. It is your responsibility to verify if your program has additional requirements (e.g., letters of intent, portfolios, interviews, auditions and specific deadlines).

Determine if you must include proof of English proficiency with your application.

Check our English language proficiency requirements.

Your deadline to submit proof of English proficiency

Please keep in mind that we cannot move forward with your file until we receive your English proficiency test scores. If we are missing your test scores, we will send you a letter requesting the scores.

Normally, you will have three weeks to upload a copy of your results from that point. If you are unable to meet that deadline, but you are scheduled to take an English proficiency test, please upload a copy of your scheduled or planned test date. This test date should not be more than three weeks from the original deadline given to you.

You can always upload documents after your application has been submitted.

All applicants must include the following documents:

Please upload unofficial copies of transcripts (front and back)* when you apply to Concordia because it speeds up the review of your application.

*Unofficial copies of your transcript should include or display:

• your full name
• your date of birth
• name of the school
• the years you attended
• courses with grades
• the school's grading scale

Transcripts you upload, however, are not official transcripts. Unless otherwise specified, we request official transcripts ONLY once you are admitted.

Official transcripts are documents sent directly by the issuing body to our Admissions Application Centre. The issuing body could be your school or another organization, like International Baccalaureate (depending on your situation).

We also accept official transcripts electronically via Credential Solutions, Digitary, eScript-safe, MyCreds, MyeQuals, National Student Clearinghouse, Parchment, and Scoir, if applicable.

The University reserves the right to request official documents at any time during the admissions process, and rescind any Offer of Admission made if discrepancies between unofficial and official documents are found.

Official transcripts are sent directly by the issuing body (school or organization) to our Admissions Application Centre.

Electronically:
We accept official transcripts via Credential Solutions, Digitary, eScript-safe, MyCreds, MyeQuals, National Student Clearinghouse, Parchment, and Scoir. Please note that you and your school need to be signed up with these service providers to make use of this option for submitting transcripts.

Sealed envelope method (North America):
If the institution you attended is located in North America, you may use the sealed envelope method to submit an official transcript. Request that the institution place an official transcript in a sealed envelope.

• the name and address of the school
• the institutional logo
• a stamp or other notice indicating that it contains official transcripts

If you submit the envelope unopened, the transcript will be considered official.

 For mature students only:

• A curriculum vitae
• A birth certificate or other acceptable proof of age
• School records and any documents which may indicate your ability to pursue university studies
• Copy of your transcripts (front and back)
• Letter of intent
