Education Verifcation

Recent graduates employed by Alberta Health Services (AHS) or other agencies who require a letter verifying the completion date of their degree can use the Program Completion/Confirmation of Credential Letter available through MyCreds. 

If you are a graduate of the University of Calgary’s nursing programs and require education verification documents (sometimes referred to as a “visa screen”) to obtain licensure in another province or country, please contact the Undergraduate and Graduate Programs Office at nursing@ucalgary.ca.

Please include a PDF copy of the form(s) that need to be completed, as well as your UCID number and name as it appears on your University of Calgary records. As requirements can be specific to agencies, jurisdictions, and the specific program that you completed, our team will support you with next steps.

If you are completing an education verification through TruMerit (formerly CGFNS), the University of Calgary will submit your documents via their secure online portal. We ask that you contact us to confirm that your application is visible to us in the portal and confirm that we have all of the information we need, however please do not order any transcripts or other documents.  

Following the closure of the University of Calgary at Qatar campus, all education verifications for graduates of the UCQ site will be completed by the Faculty of Nursing at the University of Calgary's main campus. 

Please contact the Undergraduate and Graduate Programs Office at nursing@ucalgary.ca.

Please include a PDF copy of the form(s) that need to be completed, as well as your UCID number and name as it appears on your University of Calgary records. As requirements can be specific to agencies, jurisdictions, and the specific program that you completed, our team will support you with next steps.

If you are registering with a Health Care Aide body (such as Alberta’s Health Care Aide Directory or BC’s Care Aide & Community Health Worker Registry), we can provide you with the required documents once you have started the registration process. We cannot provide guidance on starting the registration process or seeking employment in this field.

If you are seeking employment as an Undergraduate Nurse Employee (UNE) in Alberta, you will be asked to provide a document verifying your clinical hours. That form can be found on the AHS website. You will need to complete only the applicant details section before submitting this to our office. We will fill in the remainder of the form, including your clinical hours.

If you are seeking other health care employment (such as an Employed Student Nurse position in BC), email the Undergraduate and Graduate programs office with any forms or information that you have been asked to provide, and we will assist you in having these prepared.
