Confirmation of dates of study, awards achieved, exams undertaken and marks
Transcripts provide information about your studies while at the University. Table A explains the information provided on each type of document. To place an order, follow the link to information on Ordering & Payment Options
Table A: Description of information available on Transcripts and Academic Statements
| Transcripts £5 per copy | Statements £4 per copy |
|---|---|
| A Transcript provides details of degree examinations passed, and, for certain categories of student, the grade and mark awarded. | A Statement simply states the degree passed, year of graduation and class of Honours (if applicable). |
| Before ordering, please check Table B below which confirms Transcript information Registry is unable to provide and who to contact if we do not hold the information. | A statement cannot be issued in advance of a degree being awarded at a graduation ceremony. |
If you want your order sent to more than one recipient you must place a new order for each postal address. For example, if you want 4 transcripts to go to one address, place one order. If you want 4 transcripts sent to 4 different addresses you must place 4 separate orders.

| Undergraduates graduating prior to October 1988 | Registry can provide a transcript, however, prior to 1988 marks were not released, so course results will not be included. Prior to 1984 the University did not operate a common-marking scheme so examination grades are not available on transcripts. An explanation of the University's marking schemes is provided on the reverse of the Transcript. |
| Visiting Undergraduate or Non-graduating students | If Academic Registry does not hold the information you require, we will pass your request to the appropriate College Office and email you to confirm that we have done this. |
