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.

Transcripts (HEAR) for Registered Students

Our transcripts provide an overview of your studies at The University of Glasgow. Registered students can produce their own transcripts using their MyCampus Student Center.

Please note that your transcript details your entire academic career at the University of Glasgow and we cannot omit or censor any information. We do not sign transcripts by hand as there is a printed signature provided on every transcript.
