PhD applicants: one of your referees should be your LLM supervisor.
Include the email addresses of your referees on the application form When you submit your application (with payment fee) your referees will automatically receive an email message with the link to your application to complete the reference form. If your referee prefers to submit a hard copy reference, you may print the form from the application portal, send it to your referee and have him/her mail the recommendation form to the School of Graduate Studies and Postdoctoral Affairs. It must be in a sealed, signed envelope.
Transcripts (official transcripts from each university attended may be uploaded to application by applicant).
Graduates and/or current students of Queen's University do not need to upload or submit official transcripts. Queen's transcripts will be printed from the internal system.
For degrees earned outside of Queen's University, official transcript(s) are to be uploaded to the application site for review purposes. If you receive an offer of admission you will be required to submit two hardcopy official transcripts. The hardcopies should be mailed to the School of Graduate Studies and Postdoctoral Affairs from the issuing university. Photocopied, scanned, or transcripts printed from a university website are not permitted. Degree and graduation certificates must be included if the transcript does not indicate the type of degree and date granted.
Transcripts in languages other than English or French must be accompanied by an English or French translation provided by the institution issuing the transcript.
Transcripts submitted become the property of Queen's University and will not be returned. They are subject to verification and are not available for copying.
