Grades
Find your final grades in PAWS. Marks for essays, quizzes, midterms, labs and other assignments are usually saved within Canvas. Only midterm marks for 100-level multi-term classes are required to be displayed in PAWS.
In PAWS, there is also information about understanding your grades and appealing your grades.
Proof of grades
Go to the My Records channel in PAWS to view the different methods available to provide proof of grades (including transcripts), enrolment, graduation and co-curricular involvement.
Transcripts (cost per order)
Go to the My Records channel in PAWS to order an electronic transcript issued through MyCreds. If you already have a MyCreds account, watch how to merge accounts.
Electronic transcripts provide past students, current students, and alumni access to a secure, official and certified listing of their USask educational record. These transcripts eliminate the hassle of ordering paper transcripts and can be shared electronically with anyone who requires your official USask transcript.

Paper transcripts
If your receiving organization will not accept electronic transcripts and requires a paper transcript, email confirmation of this to MyCreds@usask.ca.

Prior to 1982, courses were normally either full courses (equivalent to 6 credit units) or half courses (equivalent to 3 credit units) although quarter- and eighth-classes existed. Half courses were indicated by an A, B, or C attached to the course number, quarter courses by a Q, eighth courses by an R. Full courses had no letter.
Since 1982, a credit unit is the basic unit of instruction. A typical two-term course which meets for approximately 3 hours per week is 6 credit units, and a single-term course is 3 credit units, although courses of other weights exist.
