For a replacement or duplicate copy of your transcripts, please contact the issuing School. Please note, there may be a charge for each duplicate.

Normally transcripts are prepared within 10 working days from the receipt of the application, but it can be longer during busy periods (especially during exam periods and the start of the autumn term).

For students who graduated prior to 2001 (and especially those pre-1984), it can take much longer as many may only be available as paper records. It is therefore a good idea to order your transcripts as early as possible to ensure they are ready in time for any deadlines.

You can order your replacement online. We aim to post replacement certificates within 10 working days of receipt of your request.

Please note that a charge of £40 applies for a replacement certificate.

We can authenticate photocopies of certificates for you. Please send us the copies of your certificate (we don't need to see the original) and we will stamp them to confirm that they are true copies of an original document, and sign them on behalf of the Academic Registrar.

Please scan and email in PDF format your original certificate to us at registry@city.ac.uk, together with your postal address and we will produce and post an authenticated copy for you.

There is no charge for this service and we do not require the original certificate.

Third party degree verification

City, University of London has partnered with the Hedd (Higher Education Degree Datacheck) online verification service for all 3^rd party degree verification requests for student and alumni verifications.

The online candidate verification service allows registered enquirers to input data provided by applicants (name, date of birth, institution, year of graduation, qualification classification etc).

The system can only be used by 3^rd parties. Students can receive a letter confirming their student status via the Student Hub.
