5. Submit Your Documents
Please take note of the deadlines for submitting the documents that are required with your application for admission. If we do not receive the documents for your file (including admission fees, which are non-refundable) before the deadline, we unfortunately will be unable to assess your file and follow-up with your application for the requested semester.
If you have studied at another university or postsecondary educational institution, you must submit an official transcript for all courses completed upon submitting the application for admission. If your studies are currently in progress, you will be required to send us your official transcript as soon as your final marks are available. Students who are on probation or suspension at another postsecondary educational institution will not be eligible to apply to Université de Saint-Boniface.
After submitting your application, send the required documents and (non-refundable) admission fees to the Registrar’s Office at the address below before the deadlines. The deadlines for submitting documents vary depending on the program.

The documents submitted (for example, transcripts, certificates of achievement, diplomas or birth certificates) become the property of Université de Saint-Boniface and will not be returned to you. Documents from a North American educational institution must be original copies. We recommend that documents from an institution outside of North America (with the exception of the results of a standardized French or English test, which must be originals) be certified true copies of the originals if you are unable to obtain additional original documents, as they will not be returned to you. These documents must be sent by mail or delivered in person. Scanned and emailed documents will not be accepted.
If you plan to request a transfer of credit upon arrival at Université de Saint-Boniface, you will be required to provide us with the original copies of the official transcripts and the course syllabi. These documents must be sent directly from the institution of study, either by email to transfertdecredits@ustboniface.ca or by mail in a sealed envelope. See the Academic Calendar for more information on transfer credit.
If you expect to receive your diploma from a Manitoba secondary school this year and have submitted your application for admission prior to June 15, Université de Saint-Boniface will contact your school to receive your transcript (interim and final, as necessary). If you submit your application for admission after June 15, you will be required to send us your final transcript by mail or deliver it in person.
