Student Transcripts for Private Career Colleges

Legal Transcription


Since September 2007 all Private Career Colleges in the Province of Ontario are required to have an agreement in place with a pre-approved vendor for the maintenance and issuance of student transcripts.

The Superintendent of Private Career Colleges has approved Southport Data Systems to store student transcripts in an electronic format and issue them to qualified individuals, (i.e. students or past-students of Private Career Colleges).
