Alumni Loyalty Discount

10% ALUMNI LOYALTY DISCOUNT

The Robert Gordon University offers our alumni a 10% loyalty discount on postgraduate course fees (this discount only applies to alumni with an undergraduate degree from Robert Gordon University).

How do you claim your discount?
When applying for your postgraduate course, the application form will ask if you completed your undergraduate degree at the Robert Gordon University. Once we have checked and confirmed your undergraduate degree, we will then reduce your fees by the appropriate amount.  

The small print
The discount applies to both home and overseas alumni (holders of undergraduate degrees) of the Robert Gordon University who commence postgraduate study at the University from September 2010 onwards. It can only be applied to tuition fees and cannot be used to cover any other programme-related expenses (e.g. residential costs, materials or membership fees). The discount will apply to all courses (including short courses) apart from the MSc in Advanced Architectural Studies and Gray's School of Art short courses.   

If you have any queries about the Alumni Loyalty Discount scheme, please e-mail postgraduateadmissions@rgu.ac.uk or phone (01224) 262132.

Student Record Requests

Academic Transcripts for Former Students

Student Records and Information Team maintains a limited archive collection of academic results for former students of Robert Gordon's Institute of Technology and The Robert Gordon University.

Currently we can only provide transcripts for study from 1988 to 1998. Unfortunately we are unable to provide academic transcripts for any study prior to 1988.

Transcript requests for study after 1998 are processed directly by the individual schools. Please contact the course administrator for your school via the link below.

To enquiry if academic transcripts are available for your study between 1988 and 1998, please complete the online form below.   If we are able to process the request an administration fee of £10 will be required before production.

Due to corruption of files over the years, we can not guarantee all transcripts will be available

 

Confirmation of Study and Award Letters

Student Records and Information Team can provide former students with official letters of confirmation.  These letters can be used for a variety of purposes. For further information please complete the form below.

Replacement Certificate

If your degree certificate has been lost, stolen or damaged you may request a replacement through the Student Records Team.

Please note that there can be only one original degree certificate in existence at any one time. The university withholds the right to decline any request for a replacement certificate should a previous request been made.

  • Replacements will bear the name of the graduate as they were known at the time of graduation and names cannot be changed.
  • Receiving a replacement certificate depends on the date the award was issued and the level of the qualification.
  • In order to process a request for a replacement certificate, a few checks and verifications must be made prior to any formal application for re-issue.
  • If we are able to process the request a fee of £30 will be required.
