Following on from Dennis Barrington-Light's query yesterday about charges for replacement certificates/transcripts, I'd like to ask a quick supplementary. The University of Wales is actively looking at introducing a charge for replacement degree and diploma certificates only (transcripts are produced by our Institutions). Our Finance Department has suggested that rather than simply requesting a statement from students that the original copy has been lost/stolen as we do at present, that we should require a sworn declaration before a Magistrate or Commissioner for Oaths, in compliance with the provisions of the 'Statutory Declaration Act 1835'. I understand that this is in accordance with the University of London requirements. Please could you let me know if your University requires such a declaration? I would be grateful if you could reply to me direct ([log in to unmask]) and I will post a summary to the list, if there is any demand for one. Thank you.
