Alberta students wanting to learn what they need to take to graduate may obtain a transcript or a statement of courses and marks. Obtaining either a transcript or a statement of courses and marks is easier when the student knows his or her Alberta Student Number (Alberta EducationID number).  The Alberta Student Number is given on Statements of Marks mailed to students at school year-end. However, to find your number,you may click on the Alberta Education website and a new window will open. Then, follow the directions there. In the middle, click on the words Enter Learner Registry. Once in the Learner Registry, click on Lookup ASN(toward the middle of the page that has text). Then, give your name and certify you are the person who is looking up the Alberta Student Number or that you have been authorized to obtain that information. Then, you will be taken to a page that asks for student's name, date of birth,and gender. When you provide that information, the system will search for the Alberta Student Number. Should the system find the Alberta Student Number, it will appear in dark blue above the box where the student's name was typed.

When students have their Alberta Student Numbers, they can go to the Request Documentspage of Alberta Education's website. The Request Documents page outlines the cost of an official transcript and has order forms that can be printed from the website, completed, and faxed or mailed to theTranscripts Unit of Alberta Education. A statement of courses and marks can be requested, also. Although a statement of courses and marks is not an official transcript and is not acceptable to apply to colleges and universities, it shows all the courses and credits completed. The statement of courses and marks is free and can be used to plan how to complete your High School Diploma. To print a request form for astatement of courses and marks, click here.
