Transcripts

Note: UCL undergraduate students who enrolled for the first time in the 2011-2012 academic session and thereafter should now use the HEAR (Higher Education Achievement Report).

An official transcript, detailing examinations taken and results achieved, is issued automatically to all graduating students by the Examinations Section and sent to students' contact addresses.

The Examinations Section can produce additional transcripts for taught degree, diploma and certificate programmes on request (refer to the information below).

Transcripts for research and affiliate students are NOT available from the Examinations Section, but can be obtained from the following offices (please contact them directly for further information): -

• Transcripts for research students are produced by the Student Records office
• Transcripts for affiliate students are produced by the Study Abroad Team. 

Requesting Additional Transcripts from the Examinations Section (for Taught Degree, Diploma and Certificate Programmes only)

How do I obtain a transcript?

The UCL Examinations Section require a written request (including your signature) in order to produce and release a copy of your academic transcript. Your written request should detail your name at the time of graduation if you have since changed your name; degree/diploma title and year of graduation; the number of transcripts you require; the address(es) for posting of transcripts.

Written transcript requests should be posted to the address at the foot of this page.

Is there a fee? How can I pay?

There is a fee for processing transcripts.

Current Students: (This fee applies until 31 December in the year of leaving UCL).
1 to 10 copies: £3 per transcript
11 to 20 copies: £70
21 to 30 copies: £100
31-40 copies: £150

Former Students:
1 to 10 copies: £10 per transcript
11 to 20 copies: £250
21 to 30 copies: £350
31 to 40 copies £450

These fees include postage to either a UK address or airmail postage to all overseas addresses. Payment can be made by the following methods:

1. Sterling cheque or sterling banker's draft made payable to "University College London", and sent with your written request to the address at the foot of this page.
2. Credit/Debit Card (excluding American Express, Solo). Payments can be taken by phone once your signed request has been received.

Regrettably, we are unable to accept payments made in foreign currencies.

How long will it take to receive my transcript?

Requests for transcripts should be made in good time, and at least 10 working days before they are required. The Examinations Section will aim to process requests within 10 working days of receipt of a signed request accompanied by the relevant fee. You will need to allow extra time for the posting of transcripts, especially to overseas destinations. At certain times the processing time may be longer, for example during the Main Examination Period (April - June).

Please note that requests for transcripts of academic records dating from the period prior to 1993 may take longer as these records are not computerised and need to be brought out of archived storage.

Can I request a Transcript in person?

Yes - the Examinations Section is open to public callers Monday to Friday from 10am-4pm. We are located in Room G6 in the South Wing of the main UCL Building.

You may request transcripts in person which can either be posted or can be collected at a later date. The fee remains the same as above. Transcripts cannot be produced on demand and will be subject to the same processing time as requests received by post. If collecting transcripts in person, you should bring photographic ID such as a passport, driving licence, or UCL student ID card.

My request is urgent, can I fax my written request?

Requests made by fax can be accepted, however transcripts will NOT be released if payment has not been received. Many former students from overseas are concerned that their request will be delayed while they try to obtain a sterling banker's draft. It is possible for an appointed person in the UK to make payment (either in person or by post) on your behalf as long as you have provided their details in your written request. Please mark faxed requests for the attention of the "Examinations Section".

Points to Note:

• Transcript requests sent via email or requests received without a signature or the relevant fee paid in pounds sterling will NOT be processed.
• A transcript is an official document containing the UCL seal and CANNOT be emailed or faxed.
