Where documents are known to have been produced and dispatched but have not been received, and the university has been notified within one calendar year of dispatch, there will be no charge for the production of a new document. Please contact assessment@cumbria.ac.uk for more information.

Certificates and transcripts are sent to the permanent address which the University has recorded for you. If you have moved address and have not notified the University they will have been sent to the last address you advised us of.

Where notification of non-receipt is more than a year after dispatch or where the document has not been received because the university was not informed of an address change, duplicate charges apply. Please visit our online store to order duplicate copies. 

Documents which are returned as undelivered are archived. If your document has been archived it will be dispatched free of charge.

Withholding of Certificates and Transcripts.

If you have outstanding academic related debts to the University, the award, and therefore, certificate and transcript will be withheld until the debt is cleared.

Awards can also be suspended, withheld or withdrawn as one of the possible sanctions arising from the Student Code of Conduct and Adjudication procedures.

There is no charge for a duplicate document providing the university is notified within 3 months of the dispatch date. The applicant must return the damaged document and contact assessment@cumbria.ac.uk for further information.

Duplicate document charges will apply if we are not notified of any damages within the 3 months and you will need to visit our online store to request these. 

There is no charge for an amendment to an incorrect document providing the applicant notifies the University upon receipt of these documents. You must return the original documents and contact assessment@cumbria.ac.uk for further information. 

However, if the University considers the amendment is due to negligence on the part of the applicant, for example when you have not made changes to your name if it is incorrect during registration, duplicate document charges apply. You must also return your incorrect certificate and contact assessment@cumbria.ac.uk for further guidance.

Please note that certificates and transcripts reflect the names at the time the award was conferred. Names cannot be amended after marriage, divorce or changes by deed poll once they have been created. Duplicate requests will also reflect the names at the time the award was conferred.

No, you cannot obtain a duplicate certificate until all outstanding academic related debts have been settled with the University.

If after receiving your duplicate certificate/transcript any of the information is incorrect please contact assessment@cumbria.ac.uk for further help.

If you have any questions which are not answered above or you cannot find what you need in our online store please email assessment@cumbria.ac.uk
