University records - have they got to hold any?

[figleaf]

Are universities required to keep acurate records on you? I graduated in 1990 from Brunel University in West London and they have lost my 4th year records. They have got Y 1 - 3. They seem to want to leave it at that but I need a full Transcript of my records to apply to teach here in Scotland. Does anyone know what my rights are?

Bump

I may be completely wrong here because I don't work in admin but we are generally told to keep hold of things like that for 10 years. That may be because it's all held centrally, or it may be because that's what is generally done. Sorry

Gosh you'd have thought that a university would need to keep them longer. Guess I'm stuffed then.

Well I may be completely wrong. I wonder if an actual transcript (as opposed to a certificate) is always essential? We didn't have transcripts when I was at university and although I am old I'm not so old that it would be out of the question for me to apply for teaching.

I am already a teacher Tamum, but I qualified and worked in England. To work in Scotland they need to vet/approve your qualifications as the rules and certain subjects are different here. There application procedure lists documents that you must have inorder to go through registration and No1 is a Transcript for each year you were at University (in my case that is 4). An exceptional applications department exsists but this is more for candidates from war torn regions of the world, not West London.

Bump incase the evening M.netters can help me.

I am getting confused with the other thread I didn't mean to imply you weren't already a teacher, I got the problem, I was just wondering how they would deal with people in their forties, say, who never had transcripts? In my day you never saw a numerical mark for anything, just an overall degree classification. The other thread certainly sounds more hopeful than this one!

I didn't know which area to put it on Tamum so I went for a double hit.
