Can I get an academic reference?

If you are a current student looking for an academic reference, please raise an enquiry with MySurrey Hive via Surrey Support, selecting "My Course" as the enquiry topic. Please note we will need signed and dated consent before we can complete this request. It will provide the students name, course, start date and expected end date. The MySurrey Hive cannot provide character references or fill out web portal references. 

If you require a character reference, please contact your personal tutor directly.

The University of Surrey can no longer accept reference requests or education verification requests via email, telephone or fax from former students. All third party reference requests should be managed through Higher Education Degree datacheck (HEDD) and their online verification service.

HEDD is for employers, agencies, universities, embassies and councils who wish to verify whether a candidate is a past student of a university or college, the award and grade they received, and their dates of attendance.
