This office can aid with enquiries from:

Any learner who has graduated from the college or left the college more than one academic year ago. In some cases, a student may have finished their course but their graduation ceremony has not occurred yet- these students should contact their faculty office for transcripts and other documents until their graduation has passed.

Third parties seeking award or academic verification. Any third party seeking to confirm such information is required to send the request in writing, accompanied by hand-written consent of the learner.

Please note: This office does not issue personal references or recommendations. Student Records can only confirm academic records and does not release any other information.

If you are a current student and are seeking a letter, transcript or other verification from the college, you should direct your query to your faculty office.

The college can produce duplicate transcripts and diploma supplements for former learners at the college. Documents can be requested in either hard or soft copy format. Current students at the college must request transcripts through their faculty office.

What is a Transcript?

A transcript is an official college document that outlines your academic results for each module you studied during your course, as well as any overall grade and award you might have achieved. It outlines each subject studied and when it was assessed. Transcripts contain accurate, detailed information about your results while you attended Griffith College.

What is a Diploma Supplement?

Please note: A Diploma Supplement is not a copy of your diploma. Please see the Duplicate Parchments section below for more information on obtaining a copy of your parchment.

A Diploma Supplement is a document issued to those who have graduated from certain higher-education courses that gives further detail and context to your qualification. It provides further detailed information on your award- providing a standardised description of the level of your award, the national awards framework for Ireland and other background to your academic achievements.

How do I request a copy?

We offer various types of verification services for both learners and third parties.

Apostille Stamps: Authenticating your Parchment

For graduates intending to work abroad, we recommend that they have their parchment authenticated by the Department of Foreign Affairs. This ensures that their parchments are recognised by government bodies all over the world, speeding up the processing of their academic documents. This process can only be undertaken by the Department of Foreign Affairs- the college does not provide this service. If you require more information, please click here.

Duplicate award diplomas and certificates (also known as parchments) are issued by our award validating bodies. The college itself does not produce or retain copies of parchments, once they have been issued.
