  Secondary School Applicants

  Official transcripts (required)
  For us to consider your application for admission, please have your School Counsellor or Administrator send your official secondary school transcript and any other required documents to international@guelphhumber.ca by the deadline indicated in your WebAdvisor account. Your transcript must include all completed and in-progress courses and results at the senior level.

  You may submit in-course midterms or predicted scores once available from your secondary school. This includes predicted International Baccalaureate, AS/A level and CBSE results. Predicted scores are eligible for admission consideration as well as conditional offers of admission.

  You will need to arrange to have your final official transcript sent by email from your school or through a credential verification organization, where applicable (e.g., Parchment, World Education Services), to Admission Services.

  English language requirements (may be required)
  If your first language is not English, or if you have completed less than four years of study in English at the secondary (or postsecondary) level, then you are required to submit proof of English proficiency. Test results must be less than two years prior to your application. Please refer to our chart of accepted tests/scores.

  You will receive an email with detailed instructions (after you apply) if you are required to demonstrate English proficiency as part of your application.
