Transcript
Unofficial transcript
Current and former students may access an unofficial transcript on Omnivox. It can be retrieved in LEA> Grades> statement of Final Grades. There is no fee to access an unofficial transcript.
Official transcript
An official transcript is exclusively for educational institutions or employers. The official transcript is sent directly from the Registrar’s Office by regular mail or by email. There is a $5 fee per transcript request.
- Courses in progress do not appear on transcripts until the final grades have been submitted.
- You usually do not need to request an official transcript if you are applying to a Quebec university. The Admissions/Registrar’s Office of a Quebec university can access transcripts electronically without any charge to the student. However, consult your admissions requirements as various faculties and departments may require an official transcript.
- Transcript requests are processed within 10 working days and must be submitted well in advance of the date required to avoid any delays. Allowance must then be made for mail delivery time. Vanier College is not responsible for transcripts lost or delayed in the mail.
Attestation letter and forms
Attestation letters and completion of enrolment forms can only be requested once registration for courses is complete.
- The Registrar’s Office can only issue provisional attestation letters if they are requested after registration and before the Course Delete/College Withdrawal deadline. Official attestation letters can be issued after this deadline. See the academic calendar for exact dates.
- Enrolment forms (registered educational saving plan forms, insurance forms, etc.) must be sent in PDF by email to [email protected]

Incomplete grade (day studies)
If you've already missed the deadline to withdraw, an Incomplete grade might be an option.
An Incomplete grade shows up on your transcript as a code ("IN") instead of a number grade. While it removes any failing grade from your record, it doesn't award you credits for the course.
Continuing Education incompletes->
What this means for you
- Repeating the course: If the course is required for your program, you'll still need to take it again to earn credits.
- No current credit: The Incomplete won't count towards your current semester's completed coursework.
- Cannot be reversed : Once the IN is granted, it will replace any numerical grade and cannot be reversed.
- Courses non-refundable: In the event that an IN is granted, the course is not refunded.
- Full-time status: The IN will not have an impact on your status as a full-time student.
Conditions to request an incomplete
