Official documentation & transcripts

There are several types of documentation available to UOW students and alumni either as official academic documentation such as an academic transcript, or as a student letter.

UOW is one of 47 universities across Australia and New Zealand implementing a significant sector-wide change with many other universities (Australia and New Zealand).  UOW students graduating from an onshore campus within Australia are automatically issued with digital academic documentation - free of charge.  If graduating onshore this session, please ensure you do not order or pay for your 'official' documentation.

Students graduating will:

  • receive their official academic documentation digitally
  • receive their testamur in hardcopy; and
  • be able to purchase a transcript, AHEGS and UOWx documentation in hardcopy on request (for a fee) after conferral.

Digital academic documents are available to UOW students through My eQuals.

Academic transcript

An academic transcript is an official record of your enrolment and grades (withdrawn subjects are not shown).  Transcripts are used to show completed subjects and details of a completed degree.  Graduating students automatically receive a transcript upon graduation. 

Additional copies are available to purchase ($10.00 for digital - $30.00 for hardcopy plus postage) by completing the following form.

Payment surcharges may apply.

Please note, if you are requesting a replacement Testamur due to a change of name, you will need to ensure your personal details are updated prior to requesting the replacement Testamur.  To do this, please follow the relevant instructions from the updating personal details webpage
