Transcript of Records and Diploma registry

Order at Studentweb

You can order a transcript of records with digital signature at Studentweb. From the top menu choose Orders and then Transcript of records with digital signature. You will find the transcript under Documents after approximately 10 minutes.

Transcript of records with digital signature

• Is verified with a digital signature that is only confirmed if the PDF has not been modified. This means that it is not verified (valid) if you print it.
• Shows the results from all courses you have passed at UiB and is marked with the UiB logo.
• Shows the distribution of grades for each course and contains the explanation of credit system and grading at UiB.
• Is valid until the certificate on the digital signature expires, usually after two years. You can log in at Studentweb at any time and order a new one. When you are no longer a student at UiB, you can log in with your UiB registration numer and PIN. You received the codes by e-mail before arriving at UiB.

You log in by using

• ID-porten (MinID, BankID via mobile, BankID, Buypass or Commfides) or
• Your UiB user account (Feide).

Students will be able to log in to the Diploma Registry for two months after the end of your study period using Feide.

When you log in at the Diploma Registry, your results will be retrieved directly from the UiB database. In the Diploma Registry you generate a link that you can easily send to the desired recipient along with a unique code needed to access the results.

In the Diploma Registry you can

• Choose which results you want to share.
• Decide for how long the link should be active (up to one year) and you may at any time deactivate the link.
• Generate a digitally signed PDF of your results (however, it will not show the UiB logo, grade distribution or explanation of credit system and grading)
• Get access to your results from all institutions where you have studied in Norway.

See a demonstration of how you share results via a link on the Diploma Registry web site.

When you have completed a degree at the University of Bergen, you may order your Diploma here. Your request will be sent directly to your faculty and your Diploma will be issued within 4 - 8 weeks. The Diploma will be sent by registered mail to your given address. Unqualified orders will be disregarded.

Please take good care of your diploma. It will be issued only once!

All Diplomas (except for a few programmes in English) are issued in Norwegian only, with a Diploma Supplement in English.

Before you order your Diploma you should check the following:

- Other education
Examinations taken at other institutions than UiB which are to be recognised as a part of your degree, must be presented in original at your Faculty Information Centre prior to ordering your diploma. Please note: Without proper course descriptions in English, a complete Diploma Supplement in English cannot be issued.

- Exams taken this semester
If you have taken any exams this semester which you would like to include in your degree, please make sure the results are registered on StudentWeb before ordering your Diploma.

- Name changes
Have you changed your name since you were first registered as a student at UiB, or is your name misspelled at Studentweb? In that case you must change or update your name before you order your Diploma.

You can log in to Studentweb at any time to order a new transcript of records.

When you are no longer a student at UiB, you can log in with your UiB registration number and PIN. You received the codes by email before arriving at UiB.

As a partner university of UiB you will most likely be sent a digital transcript or a link with a transcript from your returning exchange students.

To make sure the transcripts are valid, please check the following:

Digital transcript

• The digital transcript will have a digital signature. The signature is only confirmed if the PDF has not been modified.
• The transcript shows all the courses your student has passed at UiB, and is marked with the UiB logo.
• The transcript also shows the distribution of grades for each course and contains the explanation of the credit system and grading at UiB.
• The transcript is valid until the certificate of the digital signature expires, usually after two years.

Transcript from the diploma registry

There are multiple things you can look for to check that the results are coming from the Diploma Registry:

• Emails with links from the Diploma Registry will have nobody@ceres.no as the sender.
• The link address (the URL) will start with http://vitnemalsportalen.no... 
• After clicking the link, an icon showing a padlock will appear next to the link address. 

We also recommend downloading the transcript in order to view the digital signature: Go to the bottom of the transcript page from the link, and select Signed document with selected results (PDF). 
NB: Some browser's internal PDF viewers do not show digital signature. In such cases, we recommend using Adobe Acrobat Reader. 

Note that it is only possible to verify the PDF in its original electronic form.
