Your full name as recorded in the Student Record System will be printed on your certificate and transcript.
You can check what name will be used on your SOLE page by checking the Award Details link on the Assessment tab.
Your certificate is a formal record of your award and, as such, we use the names that are recorded on formal documents such as a birth certificate or marriage certificate etc.
Please advise us of changes in spelling or additional/altered names immediately.
Your full name will appear on your certificate and transcript in the form 'first name(s) surname / family name'
Your name will appear (if appropriate) in the award ceremony programme (and read out) in the form 'first name, surname/family name'.
We're unable to amend name changes made by deed poll after the certificate has been issued. If you have legally changed your name due to a change in your gender identity, we can provide a replacement certificate. This can be done at any time after you have received your qualification certificate(s).
The name on your certificate will be the name we had on record when the Board of Examiners met and agreed your award.
If your name changed before this date, we are able to update your record when accompanied with the appropriate evidence.
If your name changed after this date, we won't update our records.
Award certificates and transcripts are presented on the day of the award ceremony. If you are not attending your ceremony, you should confirm your address and payment details on your SOLE page in order for the certificate to be posted to you after all the ceremonies have taken place.
Once your award has been agreed by the Board of Examiners, you will be able to print your own award confirmation letter from your SOLE page. This contains all the information that potential employers will need to see.
From the menu on the left hand side of the screen choose the 'My Assessments' option, and you will see the 'My Award' option on the right of the screen. This should display a link to your award confirmation letter.
