Coursework students who graduate with a masters degree, graduate diploma, or bachelor degree will receive a printed copy of their testamur at their graduation ceremony.

Students who do not attend their graduation ceremony can elect to collect their printed testamur or request a mailout.

Eligible students who have opted in will also receive digital copies of their academic record (transcript), Australian Higher Education Statement (AHEGS) and testamur via My eQuals. 

Graduate Certificates

Students graduating from graduate certificate courses don't attend university graduation ceremonies. However, some faculties conduct their own graduate certificate presentation events. 

If your faculty is conducting a certificate presentation event, an invitation will be sent to your preferred mailing address after your award has been conferred. You'll receive a printed copy of your testamur at the presentation. 

If your faculty isn't conducting a graduate certificate presentation event, you can obtain your testamur:

Please note, if choosing post, ensure that your 'preferred mailing address' and 'contact phone number' are updated in My Student Admin. If requesting to have your certificate mailed overseas, you must supply a valid overseas contact phone number to ensure the successful dispatch of your documents.

Students will also receive digital copies of their academic record (transcript), Australian Higher Education Statement (AHEGS) and testamur via My eQuals.
