Transferring High School Credits to Saskatchewan
Depending on which jurisdiction you are arriving from, you will follow one of the two processes outlined below.
Transferring from a Canadian Province or Territory
If you are transferring from another province or territory, you should submit your official secondary school records to the principal of your new school. Refer to the Credit Transfer Guide to see what documents are accepted from the province/territory you are coming from. The principal will evaluate and submit equivalencies to the Ministry of Education.
Transferring from Another Country
Effective immediately, Student and Educator Services will revert to the previous International Credit Transfer Process and evaluate out-of-country students enrolled in a Saskatchewan secondary program who lack a complete secondary education from their home country.
Student and Educator Services will evaluate secondary records once the required official international documents are received by mail or courier. The documents will be returned via priority post to the submitting school.
- Original or official documents from the educational institution, bearing the original signature and/or seal, are required for out-of-country evaluation. If external exams are required, original certificates from those examining boards are needed.
- Scanned, copied, faxed, emailed, photographed or notarized/certified copies will not be accepted.
- Forged or altered documents will not be returned.
Official documents must be in the original language, with an English translation if needed. The translation must be done by a certified translator (e.g., atisask.ca). The Translation Agency of Saskatchewan is not recognized. Student and Educator Services follow guidelines from the Provincial Assessment Committee, the Council of Europe and UNESCO for assessment procedures.
In Canada, each province determines credit requirements for completion at the secondary level. It is the practice in Saskatchewan, as in other provinces, to equate grade for grade at the elementary and middle level, with subject for subject also being considered at the secondary level.
Required official documents for international evaluations must be mailed to:
Ministry of Education
Information Management and Support Branch
Student and Educator Services
1st Floor – 2220 College Avenue
REGINA SK S4P 4V9
