After successful completion and graduation of your course you will receive a free copy of your Official University Transcript. The transcript, which is used to attest matriculation and the passing of any exam, is a single document that contains the records of all degrees you have completed at the University of Cambridge. It includes the overall class mark attained and the list of papers, with marks where available, taken per Tripos.
It is the aim of the University's Student Administration and Records Office to send transcripts to the College by the end of September. You should therefore ensure that your contact details are up-to-date with the Tutorial Office to ensure it is forwarded to the correct mailing address.
Prior to receiving your free copy you may order as many ad hoc copies (for which there is a fee) as you wish, by completing the order form via The Student Administration and Records Office. However, when ordering ad hoc copies your transcript may not (at the time of ordering) contain the breakdown of your marks for the Easter Term. Therefore, if you specifically require this information to be included please attach a covering letter requesting that your transcript is held back until all available marks are attached to your record. (Please note that at peak processing times transcripts can take up to 28 days to dispatch.)
Students with an active Raven account can view their Unofficial Transcript and order ad hoc copies through CamSIS. Please be aware that your Raven account will be closed shortly after graduation and you will then need to register for CamSIS Extended Self-Service to access these services.
Extended Self-Service (ESS) for Alumni. If you matriculated after Michaelmas term 1980, you can conveniently retrieve your degree information via CamSIS. The Extended Self-Service (ESS) allows you to:
- Update contact details
- View exam grades
- View a copy of an unofficial transcript
- In some circumstances, apply for graduation
Please note that CamSIS is not linked to the Downing College system. If you are changing your contact details please also email these to Development Office. This ensures that you will continue to receive the latest event invitations and alumni communications.
The College will also receive copies of all markbooks throughout June and July. Therefore, if you would like to request a College Transcript before receiving your Official University Transcript, please email the Tutorial Office, or telephone 01223 334811, indicating whether you require a standard transcript (containing overall class marks for each year of study) or a full transcript which also contains a breakdown of your examinations marks.
Postgraduates should note that they must contact their Department/Faculty for paper marks ahead of their Official Transcript.
Please be aware that any application for transcipts must be made by students/former students themselves. Requests for copies by a third party will not be actioned unless authorised in writing by the named student.
In order to improve the process for obtaining copies of transcripts, the University's Student Records Office have developed a new secure online service called Digitary for ordering, paying, issuing and validating the Official University Transcript. This system will allow students and alumni to access a copy of the document online as well as manage its release to a third party electronically, allowing you to verify the information via the University’s secure website. This will significantly speed up the process and remove the need to send documents through the post or to request, and incur charges, for duplicate copies from the University. N.B You can only login to Digitary Transcripts by transferring from Cambridge student or Extended self-service via CamSIS.
