An academic transcript is an official academic record of a student's studies at the University, including grades assigned for courses. (Academic transcripts issued during examination/assessment period will only include course results and/or award classification processed and approved by Assessment Panels/Deans of Colleges/Schools.)

The University reserves the right to withhold issuance of an academic transcript to an applicant who has not paid fees/other monies owed to the University or who has failed to discharge all obligations towards the University, or upon the advice of the applicant's home academic unit.
