Graduation

Autumn 2025 ceremonies will be held from Thursday 1 May 2025 to Friday 23 May 2025.

Spring 2025 ceremonies will be held from Thursday 23 October 2025 to Friday 14 November 2025 (dates subject to change).

In your final session of study, you'll get access to the "course completion" steps in My Student Admin (MSA). This will include:

• Checking your personal details are correct (including your formal name which will appear on your transcript, testamur and AHEGS).
• Checking that your contact details are correct (including your personal email and phone number, in case we need to contact you after you've conferred).
• Ensuring you've provided a verified Unique Student Identifier (USI). 
• Checking there are no sanctions against your account (including clearing outstanding debts and fines and returning all equipment). 

Please ensure you've saved all the files you wish to keep on your student account to your personal device, as these will be deleted as you transition to an alumni account. 

When you've received your final results and have completed and passed all of the credit points within your study plan, your course status can be set to passed. If your course status in My Student Admin (MSA) is marked as passed, that means you've successfully completed the course requirements for your award. 

If you're a research student, once your thesis has been approved your award can be set to passed and you'll be conferred in the next available conferral period. 

How long does it take to be set to passed after my final results are released?

Usually this happens within a couple of weeks of your final results being released. 

Is there anything I can do to speed up the process?

Being set to passed is an automatic process, there's nothing you can do to speed it up. 

While you're waiting to be set to passed

If you need evidence that you've met the academic requirements for your course, please contact the UTS Student Centre for further information.

After you've been set to passed, while you're waiting for conferral

By default, you'll receive your transcript and AHEGS digitally via My eQuals (opens external site). You'll receive a separate notification email for each digital document once it is available. These emails will be sent to your preferred email address as recorded in My Student Admin (MSA) under the personal details tab.

All students will receive a hard copy testamur and you can choose how you wish to receive it. If you'd like to receive all your documents in hard copy instead of digitally, you'll need to opt out of My eQuals in My Student Admin (MSA) during the course completion steps before you're conferred. If you opt out of digital documents, you'll receive a single transcript and AHEGS in hard copy at the same time as your testamur. 

PG Online graduates: your hard copy testamur will be mailed out to you in the weeks following your conferral date. 
All other graduates: read more about document collection.

If you've had a Bachelor, Master or Doctoral degree/s, or a graduate diploma conferred, you'll automatically be invited to the next available season of graduation ceremonies. 

Graduands are invited to ceremony seasons based on their date of conferral.

Your graduation ceremony date is determined by your faculty and degree/award. 

Ceremony dates are confirmed when you register for your graduation. 

Please don't make travel plans until you've registered and paid your graduation ceremony fee. If you haven't paid, then your date isn't confirmed. 

Eligible graduands will be contacted by email about 6-8 weeks prior to graduation ceremonies with instructions on how to register. 

If you’ve just graduated, you can join UTS Alumni and enjoy a range of benefits and social activities, including special offers, event invitations, publications and an international network of contacts.

UTS careers offers on-campus and online support for up to two years after course completion. Enjoy free access to tailored career support services, resources, programs and personalised career advice. You might also be interested in visiting our Careers Service.
