Please note that we are not permitted to email copies of transcripts – this is an unchanged policy from the Education Executive.
A transcript is an official summary of academic performance, including qualification obtained, modules taken and marks achieved. It also details your University start date, programme of study, level and degree class conferred (as appropriate). The transcript is a legal University document and therefore cannot be altered.
Student Records are unable to produce an 'official' printed transcript of studies for current taught postgraduate students who have not yet had their award conferred by the Senate. Postgraduate students will be notified by the Student Records team when their award has been conferred. Until notification of conferral has been received you must request an interim transcript from your department. A printed copy of your transcript will be produced for successful taught postgraduate students for your Degree CongregationLink opens in a new window that you will receive together with your award certificate where possible. You may request additional copies if required.
Current Undergraduate Students who have not had your award conferred by the Senate should make use of the formative HEAR until the HEAR has become finalised.

I am a current student who has not yet had their award conferred by the Senate
If you are a current postgraduate student or have not yet been notified by Student Records that your award has been conferred by the Senate, Student Records cannot produce an 'official' transcript of studies. You must request an interim transcript from your department.
If you are a current undergraduate student, you should make use of your Higher Education Achievement Report as your department will not provide interim transcripts for undergraduate students.
If you have been notified your award has been conferred or are a former student you can request additional copies. Please read the guidance below.
The HEARLink opens in a new windowLink opens in a new window (Higher Education Achievement Report) has replaced the printed academic transcript of studies for Undergraduate students and Student Records no longer provide paper transcripts to those Undergraduate students who graduated from July 2012 onwards. The HEAR is issued as an electronic document and will include details of academic achievement, including module marks, and will also provide information about your programme of study and some additional achievements undertaken whilst at university. You will be able to give third parties, such as potential employers or other Higher Education Institutions, secure access to your HEAR. It will also be possible for you to print hard copies if required. It is hoped that the information provided on the HEAR will prove useful both to graduates entering the job market and to employers. You will be able to log in to your Grad Intel accountLink opens in a new windowLink opens in a new window in order to access your HEAR (a fully verified, digitally signed, electronic transcript). For further information about the HEAR, please visit the HEAR FAQsLink opens in a new windowLink opens in a new window page.
If, however, you are obliged to provide a paper transcript for application or VISA purposes, please complete the online form.
If you have been notified your award has been conferred or are a former student you can request additional copies. Please read the guidance below.

The Student Records team will make every effort to issue a printed copy of your official transcript (where applicableLink opens in a new windowLink opens in a new window) together with your award certificate at your Graduation CeremonyLink opens in a new windowLink opens in a new window (if eligible). If there are any delays with your transcript due to problems with missing information (e.g. missing modules, marks or credits), priority will be given to issuing your award certificate initially and we will endeavour to issue your transcript later as soon as the transcript is accurate and complete (this will likely involve us liaising with your department and the Exams office). If you have graduated in absentia and paid for a courier for your award certificate, the transcript will be not be dispatched by courier but posted via standard UK/airmail.
It is your department's responsibility to upload and process module marks, credits, resits, mitigating circumstances etc. following the marks management process. The Student Records team do carry out quality checks before issuing transcripts however this is not an exhaustive check and a small number of module mark errors may not be identified.
If you think there is an error on your transcript, please contact your home department in the first instance so they can check and confirm the correct mark held on the central system. Unfortunately, the Student Records team are unable to amend incorrect marks. Around graduation (July and January), we receive a significant increase with the number of enquiries received and so at these times it is likely there will be a delay with our reply. It may be much quicker for your department to confirm any incorrect marks directly to the ExamsLink opens in a new windowLink opens in a new window office.
If an amendment is required, your department will need to reprocess the correct mark. If your department are no longer able to process the correct mark, the amendment will need to be carried out by the Exams office. Once the correct marks/credits are present and correct, we will then be able to re-issue a corrected transcript and dispatch the amended document to you via standard UK/airmail.

In normal circumstances, the Student Records team aim to post out transcripts within two weeks of an order being received. This may take longer during busier periods e.g. July/August and January, as we are heavily involved in the preparations for Graduation CeremoniesLink opens in a new window and updating HEARs.
Transcript requests from graduates prior to 2002 may take up to 8 weeks, as we will need to contact departments to request modules and marks.

No. In order to maintain our transcript document integrity and authenticity, the policy from the Education ExecutiveLink opens in a new window team does not permit transcripts to be issued electronically.

Yes, transcripts can be sent to multiple addresses. Please ensure you complete the relevant sections of the order form accurately and include how many transcripts you would like to send to each address.

University Regulations did not require the University to keep records of marks centrally for students graduating prior to 2002 (module and mark records were previously held within academic departments). While the Student Records team will make every effort to obtain past marks and produce a transcript, this can understandably take some time and, unfortunately, we cannot always guarantee availability of all information pertaining to your course of study. Please be aware that requests for such transcripts can take up to 8 weeks to fulfil.
