Please ensure that your Degree Name is correct as this will be used on all of your official graduation documents. If you need to make an update, please complete the following steps before the notified deadline for your final semester. Your Primary Name (as per your passport or birth certificate) will be used to call you to the stage, in newspaper listings and ceremony programs.
After Results Release in your final semester, if you're made 'eligible to graduate', you’ll receive a 'Congratulations Graduand!' email to your UMail with very important information and deadlines. This is confirmation that you have completed the requirements of your academic program, and just awaiting the conferral of your testamur (and optional attendance at a graduation ceremony).
If you haven’t received a 'Congratulations Graduand!' email, please contact your Faculty, Open Access College or the Graduate Research School immediately to determine whether you've completed the requirements of your academic program.
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 48-72 hours for these to be available. Use the step by step My eQuals instructions.
The Graduate Response appears in your Student Centre soon after you receive the Congratulations Graduand! communication. You must complete the online Graduate Response before the deadline.
All graduands will be formally offered the opportunity to attend a deferred ceremony once we’re able to schedule ceremonies with specific times, dates, and locations. This could still be some time away yet due to COVID-19 limitations on events and gatherings. Please look out for our communications over the coming months as we respond to the changing conditions.
