Academic transcript

This is your official record of study at Deakin. It lists your course, units, majors (minors where applicable) and specialisations, grades, dates of study and any honours. Prospective employers may use it to verify your qualifications.

Testamur

A testamur (or certificate) is the award certificate and official document that confirms the conferral of your course and includes your majors and specialisations, distinction and honours, if awarded. If you complete a double degree you will receive two testamurs – one for each stream of your degree.

Unfortunately, we can't replace testamurs from institutions that are no longer part of Deakin, such as the State College of Victoria (Geelong and Warrnambool), Gordon Institute of Technology, Institute of Advanced Education (IAE) or Victoria College (Burwood, Toorak and Clayton). Please see a full list of institutions.

AHEGS

Your Australian Higher Education Graduation Statement (AHEGS) includes your award, full academic results (including failures and late withdrawals), prizes, internships and information about Deakin and Australia’s higher education system. The AHEGS helps international audiences understand your qualifications.

AHEGS are only available for courses conferred from late 2010 onwards. AHEGS for awards completed prior to late 2010 are not available.

Academic transcript

You will receive a digital copy of your academic transcript (through My eQuals) following completion of your course, free of charge.

If it’s been more than 12 months since you completed your course and you haven’t received your transcript, you’ll need to purchase a copy using our online order form.

An email will be sent to your specified email address within 3-5 business days when your digital documents are available in My eQuals. Please check your spam and junk email folders for an email from My eQuals if you haven’t received the email.

Digital copies will be available free of charge on My eQuals approximately 1 week after your ceremony date.

If it’s been more than 12 months since you graduated and you haven’t received your testamur, we'll also require you to complete the replacement testamur form and pay the replacement testamur fee.

A replacement hardcopy testamur will only be issued once the completed replacement testamur form (PDF, 233.8KB) has been sent to the graduations office.

If someone is picking up your transcript for you at Student Central, please alert us by submitting an online enquiry form and include their name and date of birth. They'll also need to bring photo ID.
