If you require a certificate or transcript, please read the information provided in the drop-down sections below and email Registry at registry@uwtsd.ac.uk. It can take up to eight weeks to receive your certificate.

Request for a Replacement Certificate/Diploma

If the Certificate/Diploma you were issued was not produced by this University (or its predecessor colleges), you will need to contact the Examination Board that issued the certificate in the first place (BTEC, Edexcel, UW, UWE, City & Guilds, WJEC etc.) for a replacement. We can only issue replacement certificates issued by this University (or its predecessor colleges). If you are looking for confirmation of the achievement of a certificate or diploma, see the Transcript request details, which also apply to requests for Confirmation of Awards or Attendance. Please note that any HND/HNC/OND/ONC certificate issued prior to the creation of BEC and TEC (later BTEC) cannot now be provided by any organisation, as the Awarding Bodies that issued those certificates no longer exist. If you attended and achieved one of those qualifications prior to 1980, you should apply for a confirmation letter, not a replacement certificate.

The Council for National Academic Awards [CNAA] was the largest single degree-awarding body in the United Kingdom until it was abolished by the 1992 UK Further and Higher Education Act. The Open University Validation Services accepted responsibility for the care and maintenance of certain CNAA records and for providing appropriate access to them. Although it is not possible for OUVS, or any other body, to provide certificates or to issue a duplicate or replacement certificates relating to CNAA awards, it does offer a Pro-forma verification document styled in a similar format to an award certificate.

You will need to complete the Request for Transcript/Confirmation of Awards/Attendance Form, which details all of these fees and options of how you can pay for them and asks you to provide the information we need to supply you with the documents. However, before you complete the form, please read through the notes below.

You are advised that Swansea Metropolitan University cannot guarantee that Swansea Institute of Higher Education, West Glamorgan Institute of Higher Education, Swansea College of Technology, Swansea College of Art or Swansea College of Education records will have survived for the year of your award. In particular the College of Art records are very patchy and all college records for the years 1981-1987 may not exist. The search fee is un-refundable.
  • It is not always possible to supply a full breakdown of individual marks or %, as regulations of some examination boards prohibit this, and in such cases, that information is not always available in the Archive records. In such instances, you will be given an overall result and modules with be shown as P(ass), M(erit) or D(instinction).
  • If you only want confirmation of the award you gained and the dates you attended, this will be done via a 'To Whom It Concern' Letter, on SMU headed paper. Such letters are generally recognised as confirmation that you did gain a specific qualification, at a particular time, but they are not recognised as certificates. If you have lost your certificate or diploma you should apply for a replacement. See the SMU Request for a Replacement Certificate/Diploma Form for full details.
  • Transcripts/Letters may be collected if you let us know in advance, or will be sent out by post.
  • If you discover that a prospective employer, other University or educational establishment or other external body (e.g. the Australian Immigration Service) requires details of the programme or module(s) content, in addition to the detail recorded on the transcript, please contact the University Records and Archives Office. If available, details for most programmes can be provided, although there is a charge (see below). Copyright issues may prevent supplying the whole document, but syllabus and module detail can be supplied.
