Normally references should be sent direct to the Scholarships Office; they should be clearly marked with your name
and the name of the scholarship(s) for which you are applying. Referees should not be asked to send their
references to you as they must have the opportunity to be completely frank. Please note that all references are
treated as confidential and cannot be returned to you without written authorisation from the referee. However, if the
form states that references are to be attached, referees may provide them to you either open or in a sealed envelope.
Uncertified photocopies of references are not acceptable; originals need to be sighted and certified copies taken
by the Scholarships Office.
Birth Certificates/Academic Transcripts: If birth certificates are required please bring your original to the Scholarships
Office where a certified copy will be made. For students currently or last enrolled at UC the Scholarships Office will
supply the Canterbury academic record. Students previously enrolled at other universities/tertiary institutions must
supply an official transcript from that university/institution.
Additional Material: Please note that only materials requested on the application form and/or in the Regulations are to

Where references are required and are sent direct to the Scholarships Office by the referee or given to the student in
a sealed envelope to be attached to the application, the references will be considered confidential and will not be
released to the student without the written authorisation of the referee.
