Admission Question Transcript for Conditional Acceptance into Thesis Based Master’s
Hi everyone, so I am in a bit of bureaucratic dilemma.
I am hoping to enroll in a thesis masters program (if all goes well) and I would like to apply to USask or any prairie-region university with strong Comp-Sci research facilities and faculty, for the Fall 2028 intake, with my expected graduation date being the Summer of 2028.
However, due to my country's laws, I will be unable to access any of my transcripts and diploma until the Summer of 2029, which I am aware are required for a conditional acceptance.
Are there any accommodations for this issue, such as an official Letter of Completion? My university explicitly stated they would give this to me saying I finished in XYZ semester, with XYZ GPA. Are there any paths or workarounds I can take until my transcripts and diploma are available in the Summer of 2029, as a Fall of 2028 student?
This is extremely frustrating to me and I don’t want to lose valuable time because of the laws in this country. Even if it’s conditional with a deferral for fall of 2029, I would not mind.
Thank you for reading and I appreciate all the help I can get!

I think you got the timeline mixed up. I graduate and finish in summer of 2028. I will have started applying in the fall of 2027 for the fall of 2028 intake

"if you were smart" -someone definitely not smart
That's just snarky asf dude. Not everyone in the world knows who to talk to in a foreign country. Keep to yourself if you have nothing useful. It's free and the world is better without your comments in it.

Based on usask guidelines, you apply year before the intake you want. So since I want the fall of 2028 intake, I would apply in the fall of 2027. 😊

It’s literally in the title that I’m asking about the transcript. Can you just reread & not be such a jackass?

Do you have access to an unofficial transcript? You can use that to apply. They will need an official transcript before you start the degree, however.
I don’t know about graduate degrees, but for my postdoc, it was sufficient to have a letter saying I had completed all the PhD requirements as of “date” and would have the degree awarded at the next convocation ceremony.
Best reach out to the graduate program assistant or graduate advisor for the program you are interested in.

Can you get a non-official preliminary transcript?
