Submitting your résumé, personal statement, statement of intent or research proposal

You can send these documents by email, regular mail, confidential fax or any other method that gets them to us safely.

Note: These documents cannot be uploaded through MyAdmin.

Submitting your reference letter

The person who writes your reference letter needs to send it directly to us. They must send it from a verifiable email address (e.g., professional letters should be sent using a corporate address and academic references should be sent using an institutional address).

Reference letters must be:

• program specific

• written in English or provided with a certified translation

• dated within six months of the application

• signed by the original author and include their contact phone number

Many programs require that reference letters be written by academic and/or professional referees. Letters authored by family members or friends will typically not be accepted.

Refer to your program's specific admission requirements for details.

Submitting your official transcript

There are four ways to send us your official transcripts:

• Request that your institution send them directly to us by mail (in an official, university envelope).

• Request that your institution send them to us through their recognized electronic transfer service, if available (e.g. MyCreds, Parchment).

• Submit them to us yourself, provided they remain in the sealed (unopened) envelope issued to you by your institution’s Registrar’s Office. (Note: if opened, they will be considered unofficial and you will be required to provide another sealed copy.)

• Request that your institution send us a copy of your transcripts through fax or email, provided they come directly from the Registrar's Office at a recognized Canadian or international institution, and through a verifiable email address.

If your original documents are not written in English, we need a literal (word-for-word) certified translation.

• show the original card when you arrive at Royal Roads University
