Intermediate transcripts are available for current students who have received at least one formally ratified result in a previous year. Digital versions can be generated instantly using the My Documents section of Student LfY.

A PDF version of your intermediate transcript can be emailed to you instantly using Student LfY. Just head to the My Documents section and follow the instructions.
A PDF version of your intermediate transcripts can be emailed instantly to third party (with you copied) using Student LfY. You can include a reference number when sending to a third party. Just head to the My Documents section and follow the instructions.
You can obtain a hard copy intermediate transcript by visiting the Student Services Centre during our opening hours.
If you need a hard copy intermediate transcript to be posted or couriered to a third a party expand the section below for more information.

You can be issued with an intermediate transcript if you have not yet completed your programme but have received formal results for at least one year of study. Examples include second and third year undergraduates; MSc students in the second year of a two year programme; part-time MSc students; students who are sitting in IRDAP (including General Course and GO LSE); and students who are sitting in RDAP1. Transcripts are not normally provided for MPhil/PhD students – please expand the ‘Research Students’ section below for more information.

We cannot issue intermediate transcripts for students in Year 1 until final, formally ratified results are published following the July or November exam boards. We cannot issue an intermediate transcript if you have not had any final ratified results released by Student Services. It is not possible to provide transcripts for provisional results (published either by departments or in Student LfY). If you have not yet received any results then you may wish to consider requesting a Certificate of Course Selection instead.

Most third parties, including WES, will accept a PDF copy of your intermediate transcript. This is much quicker than requesting a hard copy to be posted. Student LfY allows you to have your intermediate transcript emailed directly to a third party (with your copied) and will allow you to include their reference number.

If you need a hard copy intermediate transcript posted to a third party in a stamped and sealed envelope (for example, to LSAC), you should complete the Student Services enquiry form (selecting Results and Awards then Transcripts). Please provide the addresses, any necessary forms and reference numbers when submitting the enquiry form. You should mark the subject as your enquiry as ‘Intermediate transcript to be posted’.

Transcripts will normally sent by standard post; delivery times are usually around 3-5 working days for Europe and up to 20 working days to all other international destinations. Standard post cannot be tracked.

If you need a faster, trackable service, we can courier it to an overseas address for a fee of £15. This usually takes around a week to most worldwide destinations. If you would like us to use a courier service, please pay here first, and then quote the payment reference number when you submit your enquiry. You should mark the subject of your enquiry as ‘Intermediate transcript to be couriered’.

Normally, neither intermediate nor final transcripts are provided for MPhil/PhD study. If you require formal documentation related to your MPhil/PhD studies please contact the PhD Academy.

Transcripts for MRes programmes are available in the same way as other taught programmes. If you’ve completed your MRes (i.e. you have been awarded) then you will be able to obtain a final transcript via Parchment. If you’re in the second year of a two year MRes then you will be able to access an intermediate transcript in the My Documents section of Student LfY (see above for more information).

Once we have finished processing your results we will issue you with a final transcript using Parchment. Parchment is a secure, online platform used by educational institutions around the world to share academic credentials. The system will allow you to download your transcript, share it with others and order hard copies.

Your final transcript will usually be issued within a week of results being published and we will email you when it is ready. Your Parchment profile will be linked to the primary personal email address we have on file for you. It takes a little time to issue everybody’s transcripts so please do not worry if your transcript is not immediately available, it will likely become available soon.
