Certificates, transcripts and award letters

How to request copies of your transcript and certificates.

Primary page content

As a graduate, you will receive a copy of your final transcript and degree certificate (issued separately) by post.

Important note: Students on a Postgraduate Research programme do not receive transcripts. Students who are in debt to Goldsmiths will not receive their transcript or certificate until after their debt has been cleared.

If you require additional or replacement copies in the future, you can pay for copies.

After leaving Goldsmiths you may need replacement transcripts or confirmation of your award. The Registry Operations team can prepare the following documents for you at a small cost.
