Certificates, transcripts and verifications
Each qualified student is entitled to their original certificate and transcript and will receive an email soon after your award has been confirmed at an examination board. This email will notify you when your certificate and transcript is available to request and requires you to confirm your current postal address.
Please allow up to 5 working days in order to receive the automated email.
Due to our peak printing period, the production of Award Documents will take the full 10 working days. You will receive an email notification once they are posted. Please refrain from inquiring about the status of your request until the 10 working days have passed or you have not received the delivery email.
