When you are ready to apply to school, fill out an Application Form and pay the application fee due.

Currently Cypress College can assess educational transcripts from Brazil or India. If your credentials are for a different country you will need to submit your transcripts to Alberta’s International Qualifications Assessment Services (IQAS). IQAS charges a fee for the assessment which takes an average of 4-6 months to process once they have received a complete application.

• Request that IQAS send a copy of the assessment directly to Cypress College at the address below.

You can e-mail your application to your Student Services Coordinator (See phone numbers above) admissions@cypresscollege.ca. If you are accepted into program, Cypress College will require formal transcripts to be sent.

• This applies to both students currently living in Canada and those not yet in Canada.

• If your transcript is in a language other than English, it will need to be translated prior to submission.

• Official transcripts must be final and sent directly to the Office of the Registrar from the issuing institution.  

• Faxed or copies submitted in person can be used for conditional admission, but official transcripts are required to receive clear admission and attend classes.

• Transcripts can be sent to:
