The reference check companies are likely to know if there are certain universities who don't provide this. It is a bizarre attitude to take, especially given how prevalent educational fraud is. Hundreds of thousands of employers will need this information each year, so I suspect there is a way to get the information from the university and the reference check company probably knows how to get it.The admin office for my uni also refused to do this. The personal tutor had a rule that she would only respond to reference requests from second year students which was really unhelpful. Thankfully, I've never had a law firm actually reach out to academic referees or I don't know what I will do
If they can't get it, presenting a formal transcript can be an alternative reference check companies are willing to accept.
