Resumé / curriculum vitæ

Please also enclose:



an up-to-date resumé / curriculum vitæ

copies of your university degree(s) and transcripts, and copies of any

teaching certificates you have obtained.

Q) I heard resume and curriculum vitae is a little different.

What I want to know is about a forward slash in the underlined.

Does it mean an applicant should enclose either an up-to-date resumé or curriculum vitæ?

Hi.

As Mister Micawber said, C.V. is more used for academic purposes.

For university applications you come across C.V. quite more often than resume.
