University records - are they required to hold any on you when you have graduated?

[figleaf]

I graduated from Brunel University in West London in 1990. I now need a transcript for all 4 years that I was there so that I can gain teaching registration here in Scotland. Brunel have my records from Yrs 1 - 3 but have lost my 4th year. They seem content to leave it at that but I really need the record. What are my rights - anyone know?

Great ideas everyone, I'll tell you what I got up to yesterday...

I rang the student records dpt with the idea re: taking a syllabus or prospectus entry and using that to fill in the blank Y4 and then putting a note saying as I got a 2.1 I must have passed at X%. They said this was possible.

They put me through to the conferment?s people (who I have been dealing with) and they were apparently not there. I was a bit miffed that the conferment?s lot hadn't replied to my last 3 E mails so I copied all my E mails from the last 6 months to all 4 members of staff that have dealt with me in a great long chain. The the apparently absent member of staff E mailed me to say she had phoned the Scottish teaching council and they said it would be OK for me to have a missing year in my Transcript. I have asked her for as name or reference number to quote that will authorise this blank year (contrary to the normal teaching councils rules) but she has not yet responded.

Dominiconnor I have honestly told them what I studied - they refuse to stamp it unless they find official corroborative evidence.

marialouisa the school has been broken up and redistributed to a range of faculties. Even the original campus I was on (Runnymede) has now been sold.

doggysayswoof - they do have archives. I will peruse. They also have an alumni site - I will consider the embarrassment option Dominiconnor.

I will just have to keep on pestering - thanks all for the hints.
