Academic transcripts
A transcript is an official summary of a student's academic performance and progress to date. It will only include final marks confirmed by the appropriate Examination Board. A transcript may be needed for verification by prospective employers or by other educational institutions to which you are applying.
All students who commenced their studies on, or after, Michaelmas Term 2007, will automatically receive one paper copy of their final transcript upon completing their degree. This will be sent to the 'home address' listed in your Student Self Service account - please ensure these details are kept up to date. Electronic copies of transcripts (final and on-course) are not available.
We are unable to produce transcripts for the following students:
| Students who commenced their studies prior to Michaelmas Term 2007 | Please contact your College. |
|
Postgraduate Research Students (e.g. DPhil) |
If you have completed your degree, you may order Degree Confirmation letters as proof of award. If you are yet to complete your research degree, please contact your College or Department for proof of study. |

Ordering extra copies of final transcripts
Students who began studying on, or after, Michaelmas
Term 2007 can order additional copies of their final
transcript at a cost of £5 each. You can order and
buy online by credit/debit card at the
University online shop, or by post with payment
by cheque by downloading the Postal order form
(79kb).
If you are expecting examination results, please wait
until you receive your results in Student Self
Service before requesting extra copies of a final
transcript. Requests placed before your results are
released may not include your final results.
On-course transcripts
If you haven't yet completed your course, you can request copies of your on-course transcript. This will show your academic achievement to date but will not include a final classification. An on-course transcript will reflect the information you see on the Assessments page in Student Self Service and are only available once you are entered for an assessment. If your assessments have not yet appeared on the Assessments page and you are still studying at Oxford, the enrolment certificate available through Student Self-Service will act as a certification of attendance.
On-course transcripts can be ordered at a cost of £5
each online by credit/debit card at the
University online shop or by post with payment by
cheque by downloading the Postal order form
(79kb).
If you have chosen to collect your transcripts, we will notify you by email when they are ready to collect. If they are not collected within 2 weeks, they will be posted to the delivery address you provided. If you are unable to personally collect the transcripts and would like someone to collect them on your behalf, please email us with the name of the person.
Please note that when you collect transcripts (for yourself or a friend), you will need a Photo ID to ensure we release the documents to the correct person.
Applications for transcripts must be made by the student/former student themselves. Requests for copies of the transcript by a third party will not be actioned.
If you have any further questions regarding transcripts, please email transcripts@admin.ox.ac.uk
European Credit Transfer Scheme (ECTS)
If you are applying to study for a further degree at another university, you may be asked for a document stating how many credits your degree is worth. There are two credit systems: that used by UK universities; and the European Credit Transfer Scheme (ECTS for short) used by a number of other European countries. The University of Oxford does not participate in these credit frameworks but can produce certificates indicating the equivalency of its qualifications to the normal credit values in English universities and for the ECTS. The University of Oxford takes each year of full-time undergraduate study to equal 120 UK Credits, which equates to 60 ECTS credits. Each year of full-time taught Masters study equates to 180 UK Credits, which equates to 90 ECTS credits. If you require an official statement from the University of Oxford stating the number of UK Credits or ECTS credits for a full-time degree, please email student.information@admin.ox.ac.uk.
The University does not issue an ECTS statement for the Oxford MA.
If you have completed a part-time course and have queries regarding Credit Accumulation and Transfer Scheme (CATS) credits, please contact the Registry Office for the Department for Continuing Education.
