Receiving your certificate

If you attend your graduation ceremony, you will receive your certificate at the ceremony. You will also receive a copy of your academic transcript and your Australian Higher Education Graduation Statement (AHEGS) with the compliments of the University.

If you do not attend your graduation ceremony, you will be graduated in absentia and your certificate, transcript and AHEGS will be mailed from the University in August (for the mid-year Graduation ceremonies) or in January (for the end of year Graduation ceremonies).   Please note that we will send your certificate and transcript to the mailing address you have listed in mySI-net so it is important that you keep this up to date.

If you elect to defer attending a graduation ceremony you will still be graduated in absentia and your testamur, transcript and AHEGS mailed to you. This does not affect your ability to attend a later graduation ceremony. For example, if you are eligible to graduate in July 2012 but elect to defer attending a graduation ceremony until December 2012, you will:

• be conferred your award at the December 2011 ceremony
• receive your transcript, testamur and AHEGS in the mail during August 2012
• receive information about the December 2012 ceremony during October 2012

Testamurs are sent by standard mail within Australia and by Airmail or EMS Courier to international addresses.
