Submitting Official

Documents

Students are expected to submit their official documents by the orientation week of their starting term.

Please plan for your official documents to be sent directly from your university, college, high school, or a

digital credential service provider to the FDU Vancouver Admissions Office for verification purposes.

To fulfill the admission requirement, you are required to provide all academic documents submitted in

your application file.

• Final Official Transcript(s)

• Official Degree Certificate(s)

All documents submitted to FDU become the property of the University and cannot be returned.

Acceptable forms of documents accepted by FDU Vancouver

Admissions

• Original transcript and Original Degree Award Certificate – is the only copy of the transcript

issued to you by the University/College/High School (usually is printed on the secure paper, has

registration number and official seal). Replacement of that document would require a police

certificate.

• Official transcript - is prepared by the issuing University/College/High School. It’s usually from

the Registrar Office with an original signature of a school official on the school letterhead and is

sealed by the school.

• Certified transcript – is a copy of the transcript that is stamped and signed by an appropriate

member of College/University/High School staff. Such as the Academic Registrar or the Head of

Department/Director of Studies to verify that the marks shown are accurate and is sealed by the

school.

• Official credential evaluation by a NACES accredited evaluation agency – is an electronic or

paper copy of a course-by-course evaluation of your credential(s) prepared, sealed, and sent

directly to FDU by the evaluation agency. We accept evaluations by NACES accredited agencies.

• Electronic official transcript – Credential information issued by a digital credential service

provider. It’s usually through a portal that requires some sort of login and/or password (e.g.

Parchment, National Student Clearinghouse, CHSI).
