A transcript is a complete record of your academic history. It lists classes in progress, classes that have been completed, grades received and other information relating to your academic progress. Transcripts are issued digitally or printed on security paper and bear the signature of the Registrar. Students can request either an official or unofficial copy of their transcript.
Transcripts are usually required for the following circumstances:
-
- Applying for loans, funding or sponsorship
- Applying to another university or college
- Applying to graduate school etc.
- To meet certain employment conditions

Records will only be released with the written consent (signature) of the student and submission of the Transcript Request Form.
Unless otherwise requested, official transcripts will be issued digitally through the MyCreds portal.
