The Trent/Fleming School of Nursing (TFSON) programs are designed to meet the RN registration requirements and prepare graduates for practice in Canada. We know that some graduates pursue opportunities to obtain registration/licensure in other countries, and credentialing and/or regulatory bodies may ask for detailed documentation as part of their review. To support this, TFSON assists with providing information about our Nursing programs and completing international registration forms where possible.
What We Can Provide
- Official transcript (ordered separately through the Office of the Registrar).
- Course syllabi for all required nursing courses you completed.
- A record of your total clinical hours, including the type of clinical environment you were placed in.
- Information pertaining to the program as related to our accreditation and program approval.
- Completion of the required credentialing forms with the information we have on file for you.
Please Note:
- TFSON does not provide curriculum or subject hour breakdowns as our curriculum is not divided in this format. Credentialing/regulatory agencies requesting for this type of breakdown will need to refer to the detailed course syllabi provided and transcript legend.
- The TFSON can only verify education completed at Trent Univeristy. If you received transfer credits or additional education form other institutions, you must contact those institutions directly.
- The completion of forms by TFSON does not guarantee registration/licensure outside of Canada, as requirements may vary by country
Request Process & Fees
Graduates should email a copy of their forms to nursing@trentu.ca The TFSON office will then provide instructions regarding cost and payment.
Fees vary depending on the type and length of forms submitted (typically $25 to $150 + HST).
If a courier service is required, an additional $45 fee will apply.
Processing will not begin until payment has been received.
Timeline: There is an estimated 12 week turnaround time associated with these kinds of requests, beginning once we have received and processed payment.
Official Transcript:
The Office of the Registrar provides a digital copy of your transcript using MyCredsTM.. We suggest you send the transcription to yourself, and then download a copy to send to our office so that we can attach it to your package.
Things to Consider When Requesting Application Completion
All documentation sent by the TFSON on your behalf is final. Follow-up requests may be completed at an additional cost. The TFSON has developed programs to prepare graduates for the Canadian health care system and not those of other countries; therefore, the completion of these forms does not guarantee that you will receive licensure outside of Canada.
The TFSON can only confirm information regarding a graduate's education at Trent University. If you received transfer credits toward your BScN or completed additional schooling elsewhere, please contact those institutions to send the appropriate documentation as related to your education.
If you have any questions regarding foreign credential evaluations, please do not hesitate to contact us.
