TRANSCRIPTS (HEAR)
The Higher Education Achievement Report (HEAR) details both your academic and extracurricular accomplishments. It replaces our traditional degree transcript and offers a much more rounded perspective on how you have used your time at Glasgow, and better supports you in demonstrating your potential to employers.
- Transcripts are available for free, via self service or request, for registered students.
- Former students are required to submit an online application. See the former students section below for further information.
Self Service
Registered students can produce their own transcripts using their MyCampus Student Center.

Transcripts for Qualifications Completed Prior to 1989
Unfortunately we cannot issue any transcripts for courses completed prior to 1989. In place of a transcript we can offer a Certifying Letter which confirms your award and graduation date.

Transcripts for Qualifications Completed between 1989 and 2011
Modular teaching and grading were introduced at the University of Glasgow from 1989, and the standardised Higher Education Achievement Report (HEAR) transcript format was introduced from 2011. This this means that for alumni who graduated between 1989 and 2011, depending on the records kept for each individual course, we unfortunately may not be able to produce a transcript. In this case we will offer a Certificate of Student Status instead. Where we can produce a transcript, it may not include a detailed list of courses and grades, and may instead include partial information or a summary of the overall grades and or credits achieved for each year.
Bachelor of Education or Postgraduate Certificate in Education Transcripts Prior to 1999
If you studied a BEd or PGCE at Notre Dame College of Education, Craiglockhart College of Education or St Andrews College (Bearsden) prior to 1999 then you will need to contact the school of education directly to request a transcript. You can e-mail them at:
- education-ugandite@glasgow.ac.uk
Medicine, Dentistry and Nursing School Transcripts Prior to 1996
Please note that some transcripts for students who studied with the School of Medicine, Dentistry and Nursing prior to 1996 (but after 1989) are produced by the Medical School Library and then sent via post by the Student Services Enquiry Team. This may increase the length of time it takes to complete your request as the Medical School have a turn around time of 7 working days to produce these transcripts.
