Higher Education Achievement Report (HEAR)
What is HEAR?
Some of the volunteering work you do is eligible for recognition on your Higher Education Achievement Report (HEAR). Your HEAR is an extended form of the traditional degree transcript, which you will receive upon graduating. It serves as a formal means for the University to recognise your academic work as well as any extracurricular activities you have undertaken during your time as a student. This helps demonstrate your personal and professional development, as well as the graduate skills you have obtained throughout your studies, to prospective employers.
Officially recognised volunteering roles and extracurricular activities include:
-
GUSRC Student Media Manager/Editor (Glasgow University Magazine, Glasgow Guardian, Glasgow University Student Television, Subcity Radio)
-
GUSRC Welcome Week Helper
-
GUSRC Ambassador
-
Periodic Subject Reviewer
-
GUSRC Club or Society Office Bearer (President, Secretary, Treasurer, Vice President, or Welfare Officer)
We can only assist with HEAR enquiries for the GUSRC-affiliated projects listed above. Internships, scholarships, and other academic related placements (incl. Class Representatives) are administered within your school, so please liaise with them directly.
How to apply for HEAR recognition
If you have a recognised club or society office bearer, or are an eligible volunteer, we will contact you by email with further information.
If you are affiliated with the QMU, GUSA or GUU, you will be contacted by them directly.
If you are a Class Representative, your individual school will be in touch with you to confirm you have fulfilled all the requirements needed to have the position recognised on your transcript.
