Whether you are applying for a master’s degree, a scholarship, a job or further study abroad, you will probably be asked for your academic transcript. If you graduated from Adekunle Ajasin University, Akungba-Akoko (AAUA), the university handles transcript requests through an online portal.
This guide walks you through the AAUA transcript application procedure step by step, explains the difference between the student copy and the original academic copy, and shows you what to do if your payment fails. If you studied elsewhere, you may also find our guide on how to apply for a UNILAG transcript useful for comparison.
Student Copy vs Original Academic Copy
AAUA offers two types of transcript, and the application route differs for each:
| Student Copy | Original Academic Copy | |
|---|---|---|
| Click “Apply for New Transcript” first? | No | Yes |
| Delivery address and institution required? | No | Yes |
| Next step | Go straight to payment | Provide details, then go to payment |
Choosing the wrong route is a common reason for delays, so decide which copy you need before you begin. The original academic copy is the one sent to a receiving institution, so the delivery address and institution details matter.
Step-by-Step AAUA Transcript Application Procedure
Step 1: Create an Account and Log In
Create an account on the AAUA transcript portal. After registering, log in with:
- Username: your matriculation number
- Password: the password you created
Make sure you enter your matric number exactly as it appears on your records.
Step 2: Update Your Biodata
Once you are logged in, go to your dashboard and click Update Biodata. Provide all the required information before you apply or make any payment.
Good to know: You only need to update your biodata once, unless you change your password.
Step 3: Choose Your Transcript Type
For a student copy:
You do not need to click “Apply for New Transcript”. Go straight to Make Payment for the student copy.
For an original academic copy:
- Click Apply for New Transcript.
- Enter the transcript delivery address and the institution it should go to.
- Proceed to Make Payment.
Double-check the address and institution before submitting. Errors here can delay delivery.
Step 4: Make Payment and Confirm It
After attempting payment, confirm that the transaction went through by using either:
- the Print Receipt menu, or
- the View Payment Details menu
Keep a copy of your receipt until your transcript has been delivered.
Step 5: Fix Failed Payments
If your payment was not approved but you were debited, do not pay again. Instead:
- Go to View Payment Details.
- Click Fix Payment.
This lets the system verify the transaction so your application can continue.
Confirm these details on the official AAUA website before calling, as contacts can change.
Tips for a Smooth AAUA Transcript Application
- Apply early. Transcripts feed into time-sensitive applications, so do not wait until a deadline is close.
- Use your matric number correctly. It is your login username, so a typo can lock you out.
- Decide the copy type first. Pick the one that matches what the receiving institution requires.
- Check the delivery details twice. An incorrect address or institution name can cause avoidable delays.
- Never ignore a failed payment. Use Fix Payment instead of paying again.
- Save every receipt and screenshot. They are your proof if anything goes wrong.
- Beware of middlemen. Use only the official portal and the listed contacts. Do not hand your login details to anyone who promises faster processing.
Why Do You Need Your Transcript? Opportunities That Ask for One
A transcript is rarely the only document you will need, so plan ahead for whichever path you are taking.
Postgraduate study and scholarships
Most graduate programmes and funding bodies ask for an official transcript. If you are exploring options, browse our Masters scholarships and PhD scholarships listings. You can also look at specific opportunities such as the AIMS Masters in Mathematical Sciences 2026/2027 cohort or the FUTA Erasmus Scholarship to study in Spain to see the kind of documents applicants prepare. Our Fellowship section lists more programmes that request academic records.
Studying abroad and international evaluation
Overseas institutions often require transcripts sent directly from your university and sometimes want your credentials evaluated. Our guide on applying for a UNILAG transcript, including WES applicants shows how that process usually works. Many also ask for proof of English proficiency, so read how to apply for a Letter of English Proficiency at FUTA to see what is typically involved.
