Transcripts

A transcript is an official document that shows:

• units taken each year and published marks for each unit
• credits for each unit taken in each year of study
• the degree awarded, degree classification and date of award (where applicable)
• a glossary to explain any mark signals on the transcript.

It will not show:

• year or programme marks
• an explanation of how every award has been made
• any allowances made for exceptional circumstances.

If you need a personal reference, contact your personal tutor or supervisor.

If you need a copy of your final transcript but no longer have access, follow the steps for former students.

We can usually process requests in five working days. During busy times, we can process requests within 10 working days. 

We will email you when we have posted your order.  You may need to give a signature on delivery. Allow up to 2 weeks for delivery to UK addresses and one month for overseas addresses. 

Assessments during 2019/20 academic year

If your assessments were withdrawn, or you were unable to complete them all due to coronavirus, your transcript may show a mark of zero. There will also be a signal to show that credit was awarded or that you passed the unit. 

The zero mark indicates a missing mark, rather than a true zero.
