If you are a domestic student and English is not your first language, you will be required to provide evidence of satisfying the English language requirements listed on the UOW International Student website.
If you have completed an academic qualification entirely in English within the past two years in a country where English is the official language, you may already meet the requirements.

Original or certified copies of academic records, mark sheets or transcripts for studies previously undertaken must be provided. Certified English translations are also required for documents in another language. The transcript must show all subjects undertaken, grades and stages reached or qualifications gained.
For domestic applicants, a photocopied document must be certified as a true copy of the original by:

- a member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in Australia or the Australian Society of Certified Practising Accountants, or the National Institute of Accountants or the Association of Taxation and Management Accountants or Registered Tax Agents
- a bank branch manager (not in a bank travel centre)
- a barrister, solicitor or patent attorney
- a police officer of the rank of sergeant or above
- a post office manager
- a principal of an Australian high or primary school; or
- a justice of the peace
The person certifying the photocopies must:
- write on the copy: “This appears to be a true copy of the original document sighted by me”, and
- sign the document and print your name, address, telephone number, profession/occupation, date verified; and
- affix the official stamp or seal of the verifier’s organisation on the copy, if the organisation has such a stamp.
