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 study period, if you are approved to complete your academic program, you’ll be completion processed 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 completion processed until some days or weeks after Results Release. Please email support@unisq.edu.au.

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 study period, 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 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 to your UniSQ Education Partner.

Check out our future ceremonies to see when you will be offered the opportunity to register via the online Graduate Response (Deferred) to attend a graduation ceremony.

Once you graduate, you join our alumni community, a network of more than 115 000 UniSQ Alumni from around the globe who enjoy benefits and special offers, and the opportunity to apply for Fellowships or nominate for Alumnus of the Year.
