Transcript and European Diploma Supplement Administration

Policy

From Semester 2 2026 Marks Release, every current student is entitled to digital semesterised Transcripts and these are issued automatically after each Marks Release date. These Transcripts will be sent directly to your University email address. If you require your Transcripts to be sent to a third party or for verification purposes, you will need to purchase the Current Students - Third-Party Transcripts product via the Online Store (product will be available by no later than Friday 8 May).

Most awarded students will receive an official European Diploma Supplement with their award.
Additional copies are available on payment of an administration fee. Please note that certain PhDs and Health Science programmes will only receive the front page of their diploma supplement as transcript information is not applicable.

Transcripts and Diploma Supplements show all of a student's marks. There are a variety of codes that denote how many times the module has been assessed:

OE = original entry. This is the mark recording the student's original achievement in the first attempt at the module assessment (This may also be shown as CA, CE, CC, CH, SG.
OM = mitigated mark. This is the mark gained when taking a referral as if for the first time according to the regulations used in progression and in the classification of award
RE - referral. This is the mark gained in the referral sitting of a module when the original achievement was not a pass
CR= capped mark. This is recording the level at which the student's mark was capped following referral
