Hi,

How much did you guys have to pay to get a sealed copy of your university transcripts? My university is asking for �50 (nearly $100). This seems ridiculous to me.

cheers

I paid 10 pounds for the first one and 2 pound for any extras, think a replacement certificate was about 30 pounds, that was at Durham uni

mine were free! and they arrived the day after I asked for them. �50 seems well high to me. After all you've just spent �3000 on tuition. I'd try and contest that if I were you.

Good luck

Mine's $10 CAD per copy ($17 rush order - 15 min. wait) plus mail/courier charges if one wants them sent anywhere ... and I thought that was expensive.

50 British pounds per copy is beyond reason.

What university?

Just to clarifym this is for duplicates, not the originals whichI received free

Transcripts to be mailed regular post from my university are $6.00 (US) each. Rush orders are $15.00 each.

I had to call the Registrar's office to get information about replacing a diploma as they do not provide that information on their website. The replacement diploma cost $27.50 if mailed to an address within the US. The Registrar's office also requires proof of damage or official statement of loss (such as a police report indicating theft) prior to issuing a replacement diploma.

I suppose some universities in the UK may charge 50 Pounds for a rush order for a replacement diploma to be mailed overseas, although that's still a tad steep. That price for transcripts alone is outrageous.

I checked your university's website to get the costs for transcripts. There is a 35 Pound (nonrefundable) administrative fee for duplicate certificate of degree. For transcripts, there is a lovely statement advising you to contact "the relevant Faculty reception" and further advising you "that there may be a charge."

your uni must make a killing on people applying to several graduate schools.
