Steps to graduating

Please check your Degree Name is correct via UConnect > Student Centre > Personal Details tile as this will be used on all of your official graduation documents. Here’s how to change your Primary, Preferred and Degree Name. Name changes impacting official graduation documents may incur a fee to be reissued. Ensure your mailing address, alternate email and mobile phone number are always up to date.

After Results Release in your final semester, if your Faculty, Graduate Research School or UniSQ College approve your academic program completion, you’ll be graduation processed by Graduations Office staff and receive a 'Congratulations Graduand!' email to your UMail address.  This email will confirm you are officially a ‘graduand’.

If you have a delayed placement, need to resubmit assessment, sit a supplementary examination, need to provide cross-institutional study grades, are awaiting LANTITE results, have unpaid fees etc you may not be graduation processed until some days or weeks after Results Release. Please contact your Faculty, Graduate Research School or UniSQ College to determine whether you have or will complete the requirements of your academic program in the current semester.

After your Congratulations Graduand! email arrives, you'll also receive two emails to your UMail with links to your free digital Official Academic Transcript and free digital Australian Higher Education Graduation Statement (AHEGS). You may need to allow 48 hours for these to be available. Check out the My eQuals step-by-step guide.

Official graduation documents are issued at different times for each semester, so please check when yours will be issued. NOTE: all print testamurs are currently mailed or couriered directly to graduates (even those attending a graduation ceremony) to be COVID Safe and ensure minimum contact.

University and Faculty Medals, and with Distinctions, and Class of Honours are communicated to graduands at a later date, and digital graduation documents are updated recognising these achievements. Medals, like print testamurs, are sent direct to graduates. Your achievement will also be recognized when you attend a ceremony and are called to cross the stage.

Your online Graduate Response will become available via UConnect > Student Centre > Graduations after Semester 1 2022 Results Release (Wednesday 29 June 2022). You’ll need to go through the Graduate Response#1 process to register and make payment of the AUD150 Ceremony Fee. If you are not attending a ceremony, simply register for Mail my testamur. 

 

Your free digital testamur will become available in the secure My eQuals portal once it is conferred.

Please ensure your Mailing Address is always current via UConnect > Student Centre > Personal Details tile. Your free print testamur will be sent to your Student Centre Mailing Address via Registered Post (Australia) or courier (overseas) or provided by your UniSQ Education Partner.
