Transcripts and certificates

A transcript is a summary of your academic performance and progress to date. It will include a list of the papers you have taken in your University examinations, with the individual mark for each paper. A transcript may be needed for verification purposes by prospective employers or by other educational institutions to which you are applying.

How Can I Get a Transcript?

The process to receive your transcript will depend on the date that you started your course. Below is a summary of the two processes.

Please note that if you require a transcript for the BMBCh course (regardless of matriculation year), you should request your transcript from the Medical Sciences Office by emailing enquiries@medsci.ox.ac.uk.

Enrolment Certificates

You can print an enrolment certificate from the Student Self-Service section of the University website. If you intend to use this certificate for Council Tax Exemption purposes (for properties within Oxford only), you may need to get it stamped by the Academic Office (unless you are planning to go to the Council Offices in person – in which case make sure you take your Bod Card).

If you require proof of enrolment for a funding body etc., and the printable enrolment certificate is not sufficient, please come to the Academic Office on Staircase 5 and we’ll see what we can do!  Also please contact us if you are seeking Council Tax Exemption for a property outside Oxford, as we will need to produce a slightly different certificate for you.

Bank Letters

Most banks accept stamped enrolment certificates (see above) as proof of student status, which you will need in order to open a student bank account. Some, however, require special ‘bank letters’ in bank-friendly template. If you find that your bank requires one of these, please email academic.support@oriel.ox.ac.uk or pop into the Academic Office on Staircase 5.

Degree Certificates

Once you have attended a graduation ceremony you will automatically receive a degree certificate from the University Degree Conferrals department.  If you lose or damage your certificate, you can order a replacement.  Details can be found on the Degree Conferrals website.  If you have passed your examinations and have not had your degree conferred at a degree ceremony, or if you have attended a ceremony but require proof of your award to present to a third party, you can request a Degree Confirmation letter free of charge from the Degree Conferrals office.
