Uploading Supporting Documents

Prev Next

Now that you have added your education and English proficiency details, the next step is to upload the required supporting documents.

The Supporting Documents page is organized into groups based on document categories.

  • Proof of Citizenship - A passport is required. The copy you uploaded when you started the application is listed in this section.

  • Academic Documents - Required for each school entered on the Education page.

  • Test Scores - Required for the type of English Proficiency reported.

You must provide at least one supporting document for each set of test scores entered on the Education page.

If the test is not yet completed, provide a document that shows proof of enrolment or proof of the scheduled test date.

  • Visa Documents

  • Program Specific Document Requirements

Examples: Portfolios, Proof of Deposit or Tuition Payment, Resume, or CV

Here is what the Supporting Documents page looks like for our sample applicant:

The Supporting Documents page of the application, where you can upload copies of documents.

The following steps explain how to add a Resume. The process is the same for each type of supporting document that you need to add.

  • In the Program Specific Document Requirements section, select Resume / CV.

  • Click the Select file(s) area to select the document to upload or drag and drop a document from your computer onto the upload window.

Note: The scanned documents or photographs that you upload must be easy to read.

The resume is added to your application. Documents in accepted formats are displayed in green. Documents in unaccepted formats will show an error.

  • After you upload a document, the system checks for duplicate files based on the file name and size. If an uploaded file matches one already in the system, a warning message is displayed. You must remove the duplicate file before continuing with the application.

  • To add another type of document, scroll down the Supporting Documents page to the appropriate section and select the type of document that you want to add.

  • Select + Add Another Document and repeat the steps.

  • When you are finished adding the documents, select Save + Continue.

An Important Note About Adding Passport Documents

You already added your passport when you started the application. If you try to add a second passport to your account (for example, if a college requests a secondary page of your passport), you will get an error message. You will not be able to proceed with your application or save personal information updates.  

If you must add a copy of another page of your passport or another passport, add it as a different type of document. Contact the college to find out how they want you to add it.

Are You Missing Required Documents?

At this point, the application is in a Draft state. You can return to the application at a later date or time and upload other required supporting documents.

You can also provide supporting documents after the application is submitted, such as Final Academic Transcripts or English Test Scores.

Watch a Video

This video shows you how to add supporting documents, such as a passport and a transcript, to your application. We used a test account on a test server to record the process.

Note: The process has changed a little since the video was created. Now that you must add a passport when you start an application, you don’t need to add it later in the process.
