Replacement certificates (pre-1992)

As this university did not have a license to produce its own certificates prior to 1992, awards gained before this year were produced by the Council of National Academic Awards (CNAA).

The Open University now offers a pro-forma verification document, styled in a similar format to an award certificate, but indicating that this is an extract from the CNAA records.

Application forms can be obtained from the Open University via the CNAA aftercare service: +44 (0)1908 332 840.

Alternatively, you can write to:

Replacement certificates (post-1992)

A duplicate certificate will be issued only at the discretion of the university if the original has been lost or defaced. Each request will be dealt with on an individual basis.

Replacement certificates cost £35 and can be ordered online.

Once your order has been received, a declaration form will be sent to you for your signature. This must be witnessed by a solicitor, Notary, Magistrate, Commissioner of Oaths or a Justice of the Peace  before you return it to us. A replacement certificate will then be produced and sent to you by recorded delivery. You should note that duplicate certificate can take up to eight weeks to be issued depending on the time of year. If for any reason we are not able to produce a certificate, the fee will be refunded.

Transcripts

Transcripts are produced by the faculty from which you graduated and are dependent on the relevant information still being available at the University.  The transcript may be split into 'standard' and 'enhanced'. The enhanced charge would reflect the additional work required to complete more complex requests.

Standard transcripts will cover details of a students’ study including; student details, period of study, programme, qualification and module results, qualification obtained, produced as a transcript or letter format confirming the details. The charge for this is £20.00.

Enhanced transcripts will cover details of a students’ study and can include the following; student details, period of study, programme of study, qualification, module results, qualification obtained, curriculum details, module specifications, accreditation documents, Placement details, covering letter (if required). This is usually required for requests for overseas working, employer confirmation of study details. The charge for this is £50.00.

Transcripts are available to purchase from the DMU online store.

Students who studied at a campus other than Leicester should email studentrecords@dmu.ac.uk with the following information:

  • Full name
  • Date of Birth
  • Date Graduated
  • Course studied

The provision of a transcript will only be possible if the information was transferred to our Leicester archives. Information for studies completed at other campuses prior to 2001 was not always fully transferred.
