After Your Course: Oxford Lifelong Learning

Results and award of qualification

After the final items of assessment have been marked and moderated, the Board of Examiners will meet to confirm results and award the qualification. You will then receive a letter confirming your results for the year and, if you have reached the end of your course, notice that you can download a full transcript of your marks.

Details of examiners and reports are available at the Examiners web portal. The list is updated during the year as appointments are confirmed. Please note that students are not permitted to contact external examiners directly.

Award ceremony (for non-matriculated undergraduate and postgraduate graduands)

The Department’s Award ceremony is normally in March and May of the year following the end of your course.

Graduation (for matriculated graduands)

Students on matriculated courses of a fixed duration will receive an email near the end of Michaelmas term in their final year of study, with instructions on how to book their degree ceremony. Students on courses of variable duration will be invited to register for a degree ceremony once they have completed their course.

If you have any questions, please contact either the Degree Ceremonies team or your college.

Transcripts

A transcript is a formal record of what you have studied, and includes a breakdown of your marks and your final outcome. Depending on your course:

Either

  • The Department will send you your transcript after the Board of Examiners has confirmed the results.

Or

A ‘transcript’ is an official record of your course of study and your results. You will be notified as to when you can download a transcript at the end of your course (see Transcripts and Certificates).
