Transcript:
A transcript or Diploma Supplement is the academic history of each student, a comprehensive record of an individual’s academic progress, including transferred undergraduate courses, credit earned by examination and degrees awarded. The name of the student will appear on the transcript as it appears on their university records.
A transcript lists the titles and marks of the modules the student studied in each academic year. It gives the period of registration as a student, the degree date and the degree classification. Current and former students need a transcript or Diploma Supplement for employment, further education or immigration purposes.
Official transcripts include the university seal and the signature of the registrar. When mailed, transcripts arrive in sealed envelopes with seal and signature of the registrar across the back flap of the envelope.
Transcripts and Diploma Supplements are produced according to guidelines arising out of the Bologna Process, an intergovernmental initiative designed to create a European Higher Education Area (EHEA) by 2010 and to promote the European system of higher education worldwide. The University's Diploma Supplement conforms to the strict guidelines set out by NARIC and the Europe Unit of Universities. For these reasons, it is not possible for students to request additional information to be included on their Diploma Supplement.

There is a charge of 15 United States Dollar (USD 15.00) for every transcript requested. Students can order as many as they wish, but it is recommended that they limit the order to the number of transcripts they really require. The fee covers the cost of processing, printing and standard mail/airmail.
