Q. What will my membership fee be spent on?
A. Being a subscribing member of the WGA entitles you to a whole host of services and benefits. See 'Join the WGA' for more details. Your membership fee is spent primarily on improving your Association. However, the WGA is also proud that subscription income contributes towards the scholarship scheme, hardship funds, Warwick Sport, The Students' Union, The Opportunity Fund and various other initiatives to benefit current students, particularly those who are less well-off.
Q. These Annual Fund telephone campaigns that you run – why are you asking me to support Warwick?
A. Dramatic changes in the last few years have seen the end of maintenance grants, the introduction of tuition fees and a new loans system, leading to a massive increase in student debt. Having benefited from a Warwick degree, we are asking you to "give something back" to help future Warwick students. We need to ensure that students from the widest social backgrounds can continue to come to Warwick to achieve their academic ambitions. For more information see the 'Giving to Warwick' website.
Q. Where can I get a copy of my transcripts or get proof of my time at Warwick'
A. Alumni who graduated in or after July 2002 will receive one free copy of their transcript upon graduation. Further copies are charged at £25 for 10 copies. To request a transcript for undergraduate and postgraduate courses you will need to fill in the form on the Academic Office website.

For a copy of your degree certificate please contact Val Biggs on (+44) 024 7652 8102 or val.biggs@warwick.ac.uk
Q. When will the annual membership fee be debited from my account?
A. We will always write to inform you before any money is taken from your account. The membership year runs from October to September and renewals are debited in early October.
Q. What is my ID number?
A. Your ID number is your old student number with an "A" (for alumni) in front of it. If you do not have a record of this number, please contact the WGA office.
