We may be able to provide a status letter containing basic details from the master student record, subject to the availability of records such as: 

​

• Dates of study (Beginning and End) 

• Qualification awarded (if applicable): title, classification, and date 

• A copy of the final transcript or record of achievement may be provided based on the information available in the student file. Please note that we are unable to produce new or updated transcripts for former students 

 

​

Academic References 

 

Academic references may only be provided: 

​

• Within two years of your last date of study at the College 

• If you completed the full award successfully 

• If a member of staff who had direct academic contact with you is still employed and able to provide a reference. 

​

If no staff member is available who can verify your academic performance or engagement, we regret that we will be unable to issue a reference. 

​

​

Qualification Verification 

 

If you require verification of a qualification, we recommend contacting the awarding body directly, as they are the official source for confirming awards and issuing replacement certificates. 

If you would like the College to verify your qualification, please note: 

​

• We only verify records electronically. 

• We do not send copies by post. 

​

If available, you may collect physical photocopies of the documents in person, or nominate someone to collect them on your behalf. 

​

An administration fee of £50 (GBP) applies to this request. This fee is payable in advance and is non-refundable, regardless of the outcome.
