HI All,

I studied 2 years and gained an HND in Computing. I then went
on and done a 3rd year to obtain a degree (Combined Studies) in the same
subject. This was 10 years ago and now am finding it a little difficult
to get a hold of transcripts (for the purposes of skills assessment to
ACS).

I have my degree certificate and university say that they can
obtain my 3rd year transcripts but not the HND part. Has anyone else
been in this position i.e. only able to obtain part of their
transcripts?

What will the ACS be looking for.....a complete breakdown
of every module/mark over the course of the 3 years?
Would my degree
certificate and final year transcripts be enough?

I am also presuming
that a 'Combined Studies' degree (i.e. HND plus final year of degree)
will be viewed the same as a degree obtained through the normal
channels?

Cheers
Colin

been sent the transcript for my degree, but they've told me it's not
available for the HND. They've offered to write a letter stating that
my HND grades satisfied the entry requirements for the degree (but I
would have thought that was obvious).

transcript and both certificates so I hope it'll be enough.
