Transcript:
You must supply one transcript for EACH post-secondary institution you attended, regardless of whether you obtained a degree or simply took one course at that institution (Yes, even if you received transfer credit for that course to your degree!).
The Faculty of Education encourages applicants to submit official transcripts whenever possible (and in particular for domestic applicants). Although the Faculty of Graduate Studies and Research will process an application with unofficial transcripts any such recommendation for admission will be CONDITIONAL. Applicants who receive a conditional offer of admission aren’t permitted to register until their official transcripts have arrived, which could result in a delay to the start of your program.
Curriculum Vitae:
Prefer format based on a modified curriculum vitae outline:
1. Employment
• Must include the start and end dates (at least month and year) for each position
• Prefer reverse chronological order : current/most recent experiences first.
• Briefly outline responsibilities/duties.
• List unpaid internships or practicum experiences separately.
2. Education History
3. Awards (e.g. academic or professional awards)
4. Publications (e.g. articles, chapters, books you have written or co-authored; or articles written about you related to your academic/professional career)
5. Presentations and Conferences (e.g. where you have presented posters, papers, etc.
6. Professional accomplishments, memberships
7. Other information (e.g. volunteer work, interests, etc.)
Personal Statement:
Your personal statement must address each of the following:
1. Please describe your specific area of academic interest, and explain what motivated you to choose this area. (If your undergraduate or graduate degrees aren’t in Education, also explain why are you interested in the field of Education.)
2. Describe how your past education, professional and other experiences have prepared you to be successful in this graduate program.
3. Describe what you hope to achieve in this graduate program. (Applicants to the thesis route should also include a statement about future research interests.)
4. Describe why this particular graduate program at the University of Regina may help you fulfill your long term aspirations/objectives.
A well-written Master’s Personal Statement is unlikely to exceed a total of 500 words (for all four questions).
