Requesting a transcript

Only one degree certificate is issued to each student and we do not hold copies, therefore you will need to provide a photocopy of your certificate, which we can certify.

Fees

Certified copies of certificates

• Each type of document - £15.
• These fees cover up to two copies. Additional copies ordered at the same time - £1.50 each.

Transcripts are the full academic record of your studies, validated by an official University signature and seal. They will show which papers were taken and the numerical marks or alphabetical grades for each paper. All attempts at examinations will be shown whether passed, failed or referred. Registration dates will be indicated (where known), as well as the classification and date of award (where appropriate).

Some of the University records are incomplete and may not show the full range of options offered, or grades obtained in individual papers. Where you have passed certain papers of a qualification, but failed to qualify for an award, it may not always be possible to specify these papers on your transcript. Records for the BSc Special degrees and those taken under Special Relation may be incomplete. As full a transcript as possible will always be provided.

Transcript availability

When you submit a Graduation Document Enquiry we will investigate whether we can provide your documents. However, note that we cannot provide transcripts for MSc or MA awards prior to 1988. We are also unable to provide transcripts for research-based qualifications such as PhD’s or MPhil awards. If you apply for a Letters of Certification for a research-based qualification it will stipulate that no transcript is available.

Transcripts extracted from diploma supplements

If you graduated from University of London's Distance Learning programme from 2007 onwards you will have automatically received a Diploma Supplement with your Certificate. This includes details of the award itself as well as the information that would be indicated on a transcript. If you subsequently apply for a transcript via this service, you will receive a copy of the relevant pages from your Diploma Supplement, bearing the signature and seal of the Vice-Chancellor of the University of London.

Partial transcripts

Partial transcripts are records of examinations taken to date. If you are currently studying for a qualification, or did not complete an award, and require a partial transcript then the transcript fee is still payable. If you later require subsequent transcripts showing further exams then a new application and fee is required.

Completing students

If you are due to sit examinations this summer it may take up to three months from the date of award for your official Graduation Documents to be issued. In the meantime you may apply for a transcript via this service, although a complete transcript is unlikely to be issued until at least two working weeks after the examination results have been confirmed. If you are submitting a Graduation Document Application in these circumstances, please indicate clearly on your application form if you require partial or complete transcripts, or both. If you require both, you will need to pay two application fees.

Requests for verification or confirmation of award from third parties

We can provide written confirmation of the award/qualification of a student to a third party. To enable us to provide confirmation we require:

• a letter from the student with signed authorisation enabling us to release information to the third party
  and
• a copy of the certificate of the student you are enquiring for.

Any letter authorising the release of information to a third party must contain the full name of the student at the time of study, the date of award, the title and level of the qualification and the name of the member institution they attended. There is an administrative charge payable for the provision of this service.
