Testamurs
Testamurs are distributed to students at the time of graduation.
Testamurs can only be re-issued if the original has been lost or stolen, damaged or if a name change is required. The request for replacement testamur form (128 KB), must be completed and returned with payment to the Graduations Office.
There is a charge of $75 for a testamur replacement posted to an address within Australia, $100 for postage to an overseas address. Payment can be made by cheque or money order made payable to 'Deakin University'.
Unfortunately replacement testamurs for antecedent institutions of Deakin University can not be issued, ie: Gordon Institute of Technology, State College of Victoria- Geelong/Warrnambool, I.A.E and Victoria College- Burwood/Toorak/Clayton.
Australian Higher Education Graduation Statement (AHEGS)
Purpose
The Australian Higher Education Graduation Statement (AHEGS) is issued to graduates at the time of conferral (graduation). It provides information on the award that the graduate has completed, their academic results, the institution they have studied at and the Australian higher education system. It is designed to promote a greater understanding of Australian higher education qualifications and graduates, both in Australia and internationally, and enhance the international mobility and professional recognition of graduates.
Deakin University will produce AHEGS for all students graduating from October 2010 onwards. Graduates will receive their Graduation Statement in person at their graduation ceremony or for in absentia graduates, it will be mailed with their testamur (award certificate).
You will not need to request or pay for a Graduation Statement in the first instance. The statements will be automatically issued at the time of graduation.
If you require a replacement, there is a charge of $40 for the first, and $10 for any additional copies.
Information to be included in AHEGS
The Graduation Statement includes details on the award conferred, the awarding institution, academic results, any prizes and/or merit-based scholarships awarded to the graduate in relation to the award and a description of the Australian higher education system.
The Graduation Statement content is set by the University, and meets the AHEGS guidelines set out by the Department of Industry, Innovation, Climate Change, Science, Research and Tertiary Education (DIICCSRTE). Therefore it is not possible to have individual variations on the Graduation Statement.
