We can make admission offers based on your uploaded transcripts, but must receive hard copies of your transcripts before you can register in the program.
You must have your academic institution(s) mail official hard copies of your transcript(s) to the TRP office as instructed by the application website before you can register.
If your transcript or degree is not in English, you must arrange to have the document translated by a certified translation service, embassy or consulate.

4. Reference letters
We require 3 reference letters, with one of those letters being from an academic reference. Referees are required to use institutional email addresses; personal email services (eg. Gmail, Yahoo) will not be accepted.
References must be submitted by referees via the online application system.
- Pay your application fees
- Register your referees and provide their institutional email addresses
- Referees complete the reference once instructions are sent by the online system
Any non-academic referees should be able to speak to your capacity and performance. Referees cannot be family, friends (peers) or other applicants.
