My eQuals 

USQ graduates can share their certified digital graduation documents faster by supplying third parties seeking verification via an electronic link and (optional) pin. More information about My eQuals shared documents for third parties and My eQuals.

Standard verification requests

USQ responds to Third Party Verification requests in writing via email. These requests and responses are retained and stored in accordance with our Privacy Policy.

Under the Privacy Policy only the following information can be provided about a conferred graduate to a third party:

  • individual’s name
  • name of program (not including majors or fields of study)
  • conferral (awarded) date.

If you require further information, a signed consent from the graduate must be supplied.

To use the Third Party Verification service, you are required to provide the following information:

  • date of birth DD/MM/YYYY
  • details of the company, organisation or individual requesting verification
  • graduate’s full name including any previous or maiden name

The Graduations Office is only able to respond to requests to verify graduates of award programs, not professional development courses. If you have completed a professional development course, please consider purchasing a print Official Academic Transcript with Authentication.
