I need a transcript

If you have recently completed your programme of study, you will need to ensure that all your module results have been ratified and final award has been conferred.

We recommend allowing between 2-4 days for your final transcript to be available on your Gradintel account, because it can take some time to process all your information from your student record onto your account. Usually, your transcript and HEAR will be released and ready at the same time.

All standard transcripts are available free, as digital documents through your Gradintel account.

If you’ve just graduated this year, or in previous years, your digital transcript will be on your Gradintel account alongside your HEAR and is accessed in the same way.

1. Activate your account on gradintel.com using your King's email address.
2. Your transcript may not be immediately available; the document is only released following the ratification and release of results at academic boards.
3. Once your results have been released, log in to gradintel.com.
4. Your transcript and HEAR should be released together; if they are available, they will be on your Gradintel homepage.

As soon as your transcript is available for you to view, you will receive an automated email to advise you that it is available on your Gradintel account.

For more information on using Gradintel, please see our article How can I access my Gradintel account?

Your result will be available on your student record.

Your results can take some time to be processed through on to your record, following the Assessment Sub Board’s decision. Since this is organised by faculty and department, the exact timings may vary depending on your department.

However, as soon as your results have been ratified and your award released, this should be available on your record. You should also receive an email informing you. Final awards are usually available sometime after (and not before) the official course end date.

Once your results have been ratified and released, you will be able to obtain documentation confirming this.

Important to know: If you are within the Faculty of Nursing or IoPPN there may be a slightly different process. If you are unsure, you’re best to contact your department directly.

If you hold Dentistry degree, or you’re a Medical graduate needing a transcript as part of the credentialing process, or a medical verifications carried out via the Educational Commission for Foreign Medical Graduates (ECFMG), such as EPIC, EICS, ERAS; please log a case and we will support you.

If you're an MBBS or Dental alumni from the academic year 2016-17 or earlier, please refer to our article I’m an MBBS or BDS alumni from a few years ago; how can I obtain my transcript?

Important to know:

• Please allow plenty of time when logging your request, since these specialist transcript requests will need to produced manually.
• If you studied at King’s many years ago, there is a possibility we can’t produce a transcript for you. To find out more about this and to check if this affects you, please refer to our information under Courses for which transcripts are not available.

If you’re a King’s graduate or a current student approaching the end of your studies, and you are applying to institutions overseas that require a GPA for your degree, you’ll need to use an external service provider to calculate this conversion; unfortunately King’s can’t provide this for you.

ENIC is one organisation that provides this service, as does WES, which focuses on the US and Canada. To be sure however, we advise checking with the institution are you applying to about conversion resources, since they may have particular organisations they use to verify conversions or equivalences.

It often takes time for results to be released after you have completed all your assessments, which means you can finish your course and still be awaiting results.

During this time, it’s likely you will need to prove completion of your course, but this can be difficult if your results haven’t yet been finalised.

If you need to offer proof to a third party such as an employer, another institution for further study, or any other organisation - you may find our Pre-Award letter helpful; see I need to prove I’ve finished my course and am awaiting results for more details.

Yes; you can obtain a Record of Agreed Results letter to show your module results so far. To find out more about this document and how to access it, go to I need to prove my module results so far.

What is the difference between the Record of Agreed Results letter and the final transcript?
The Record of Agreed Results letter (ROAR) is intended to be an interim transcript aimed at current students. This helps you prove your module results as you progress through your course. You can access this document at any time from your Gradintel account.

There is one key point of difference between the documents:
The transcript is only available to completed and awarded students and intended to be used in partnership with your degree certificate. The ROAR is available at any time during your course as soon as you have some ratified results; this is perfect for tracking your ongoing progress.

Both documents:

• Are available to you as digital documents on the Gradintel platform.
• Are official documents issued by the university and only show ratified results.

Important to know: We are unable to produce any document showing ‘provisional’ results.

No; the best document for you to use is your Record of Agreed Results (ROAR) available on the Gradintel website. Here, your home institution will also be able to access your results.

If during your course at King’s, you spent a period of your studies overseas studying at another institution, marks you received for your studies there will be primarily held by your host institution.

The usual practice for our partner universities is; once your result are released, they share a copy of the transcript with the Global Mobility Office, and this is then shared with your department here at King’s. In some instances, the university may share the transcript with you directly.

If you’re looking for a copy of your transcript, you may contact the Global Mobility Office. However, please be aware that not every institution will share transcripts in the same way, and if you’re looking for a transcript from a few years ago, we can’t guarantee we still hold this here at King’s.

For a full, official transcript from your studies abroad, you would need to contact your host institution, and follow their guidance on obtaining a transcript.

You’ll have a Record of Agreed Results letter for the modules you studied with us, whether it was for one semester or for a full year. As for all our students, you will be able to access this document through Gradintel.

If you studied at King’s some time since 2012, you can access your Record of Agreed Results through Gradintel. If you attended after 2018, you should already have access and can reset passwords directly on Gradintel.

• For details on how to log in to this account, please follow in the guidance in our article Accessing my Higher Education Achievement Report (HEAR) on Gradintel.
• If you attended before 2018 or never activated your account, please log a case including your King’s student ID number if you still have it, and we will look into getting your account activated for you.

Important to know: The HEAR, Transcript and Record of Agreed Results are all hosted on Gradintel and are accessible there in the same way. When you log in you will see all the documents which are available to you.

If you studied a research degree, a transcript is not possible because your results are not modular (as they are for taught courses). Examples of these types of degrees are: Doctor of Philosophy (PhD), Master of Philosophy (MPhil), Doctor of Education (EdD), Doctor of Clinical Psychology (DClinPsy) and Doctor of Medicine (MD).

Courses at RADA are accredited by King’s College London. Our role here is to process your award and produce certificates, but all teaching and assessment is done at RADA.

This means that if you’re looking for a transcript, this would be issued by RADA rather than KCL, and you’re best to approach support services at RADA to find out how to obtain this.

Joint LLB transcripts
Transcripts for the LLB taught jointly with another institution will not include a breakdown of the marks obtained at the other university. For details of these results, you will need to contact the other university directly.

LLM transcripts
If you studied on the LLM Programme and graduated before 2000, you are best to contact the University of London since you would have been awarded a University of London degree, and they will hold your information.

All their contact information and details on how to make your request can be found at University of London - Transcripts Office.

If you studied on the Bachelor of Music Degree (BMus) before 1996 you may not be able to obtain your official academic transcript. Unfortunately, this is because some of the records are incomplete.

In cases where the transcripts are unavailable or indeed you studied this course before 1996, we advise logging a case with us and letting us know what you need and why, and Student Services can look into what we may hold on record for you, and what it might possible to produce for you.

For some more information, you may find this article helpful - I’m King’s alumni and I need to prove my degree.

Unfortunately, if you completed a taught Masters degree before 1989 you won’t be able to order an academic transcript because before this time, universities were not required to keep detailed records. Depending on the course studied, this can sometimes apply to Masters programmes dating up to 2000.

However, if it is crucial that you obtain a document detailing your course and results, and you studied some time before the year 2000, we can offer 2 options which may be a help:

1. If you graduated at this time, you will hold a University of London degree (rather than a King’s College London degree) and so we advise contacting the University of London - Transcripts Office to enquire whether they hold any records for you.
2. Student Services can investigate your record and look into what, if any, information may be held about your studies with us. To explore this option, please log a case with us and provide as many details as possible to help us locate your record.

‘Federal’ courses, as they are sometimes known, are historical courses held at King’s but fully administered and awarded by the University of London (UoL). These ran over several years in the past, and covered a wide range of subjects. For this, you would have enrolled at King’s, and had your teaching and marking with us, but all your results would have been ratified by assessment boards at UoL, and UoL would produce all certificates and transcripts.

Important to know: This is not to be confused with courses running before 2008 at King’s, which were fully taught and administered by King’s, but awarded by UoL, because this was at a time before King’s was granted awarding powers. If you are unsure what your course was, please continue reading – hopefully this will clarify things a little more.

If you studied on a University of London (federal) course at King's and wish to order transcript, you need to contact the University of London. All their contact information and details on how to make your request can be found at University of London - Transcripts Office.
