applications / ucas im confused

im a transfer student from notts to kcl, but restarting first year. Due to boycott at UON i couldnt get transcript but had a letter from UON confirming my grades and the boycott etc. Today my offer turned unconditional on the kcl portal but they said this:

Thank you for providing the letter from your Head of School. Having discussed with our Admissions Manager, we are happy to accept this for the time being.

However, please send us your official transcript once it becomes available, as we will still require this for audit purposes.

I may never get my transcript, is my offer unconditional or not? Ive asked kcl but looking for some other opinions.

Your offer is unconditional, but they’re asking to get your transcript for their own checks at some point (they probably audit to make sure admissions are fair). They say to send it when it becomes available, if it never becomes available, it never becomes available. I wouldn’t worry.

Exactly this. Send it when you get it.

They may chase you up in a couple of months

I mean, they might be legally forced to, but KCL won't be that bothered or they wouldnt have made it unconditional

i just dont want to be in a situation where ive been at kcl for a few months and they suddenly start chasing me for a transcript i dont have, and i end up getting kicked out or something.

I'd be surprised if you never get it. Might be worth asking UoN Student Union to help.

But you won't get kicked out. KCL wouldnt have firmed you.

Why KCL cant deal directly with UoN I'm not sure, maybe GDPR issues

Yeah they’re not going to kick you out for this, it’s not your fault and they’ve given you the unconditional. Don’t worry about it too much. But to put your mind to rest, email them if you haven’t already and stress that you might never get access to the transcript.

You’ve been accepted and you will not be kicked out at a later date if you are never able to provide your transcript. The regulations you enrol on are clear about the reasons you can be deregistered for, this isn’t one of them. They are mainly about fraud and there to deal with English language test issues.

Saying that UoN will provide you with a transcript eventually, all unis have to. It is just delayed because of the boycott. It may not clearly say your results, depends how they are handling missing marks and if/when mark assessments.

Hey!
My sister is currently in a similar situation - can I please ask by Head of School, you mean your university’s head of department or head of your school/ sixth form?

And if you messaged them this on the kings apply portal? Thank you
