Verification of original documents
Refer to this page for the steps to take if the University requests the original of an uploaded document during the admission process.
Complying with the verification of original documents
At any time during admissions, Université de Montréal reserves the right to request the original of an uploaded admissions document for verification purposes.
As stated in your Student Centre, you must provide the original or a certified copy of the required document(s) by the stated deadline.
Choose the means of transmission : Choose the means of transmission that suits you best: by mail or registered mail, in person or by electronic transmission between canadian universities.
Complete the identification form : You must attach this identification form so we can link your paper documents to your admissions application.
Provide a reply envelope for the return of the documents, if desired : If you would like to have the original documents returned to you, please send a self-addressed, stamped reply envelope with them. Otherwise, the original documents will remain the property of the Université de Montréal and will be kept on file for one year. You can submit a request for their return to the Office of the Registrar.
Monitor your Student Centre : Once the documents have been received and verification is completed, the task assigned in your Student Centre will disappear from the to-do list.
If you have any questions, please submit an online request for assistance or call us at 514-343-7212.
