CNAA Students

The Council for National Academic Awards (CNAA) was a UK degree-awarding body, operating from 1965-1992.  When the CNAA was abolished, the OU was authorised to have care and custody of their award records.  Click here for an email, letter or pro forma (certificate-style document) verifying your CNAA award.
