Whether it’s for that new job or continuing education, you can order your transcripts from McGill Student Records… and now it can also be done online. McGill students and alumni who were registered or graduated from McGill as of 1972 or later can request electronic transcripts (eTranscripts) in PDF format to send to educational institutions, employers, funding agencies, immigration authorities, or any third party. Those who graduated before 1972 can request paper copies.
