 3. How to send a transcript to an employer, yourself, or anyone. This video will show students how to send a transcript to anyone they choose via a PDF download or a sealed hard copy by mail. The first option is to select Send an Electronic Transcript by PDF Download. Students will be asked to complete some basic information, such as the name and email address of the person they would like to send the transcript to, and a security question and answer that only the recipient should be able to answer to verify their identity. This is similar to an e-transfer for a bank. If the wrong answer is entered three times by the recipient, they will no longer have access to the PDF, and the student will need to repeat the request at the cost of $10. The student transcript service has no access to the selected passwords and cannot reset them if the recipient is locked out. To ensure a successful transfer, students may want to provide this answer to the person before they submit their transcript request. Students must ensure that they choose and type in their answer carefully, as the answer is case and space sensitive. If possible, type in the answer instead of cutting and pasting it into the response box. Once the student has submitted their order and paid the $10 transcript fee, an email will be automatically sent to the person, an email address that the student authorized to download their transcript. The PDF will be available for seven days following authorization. An example of when this function can be used is when potential employers require a copy of your transcript for employment purposes. The second option, send a printed transcript by mail, can be used when a sealed official transcript is required. Students can order this document by completing the name and mailing address information. Each transcript will cost $10 and be processed and mailed via Canada Post regular mail. It may take up to six business days for the Ministry of Education to process the order. Additional estimated mailing times include eight business days within Canada, ten business days to the USA, and twelve business days for international destinations. Please note that these transcripts are not tracked by Canada Post. If your transcript has not reached its destination within these time frames, please contact studenttranscripts at gov.bc.ca.
