Receiving your certificate/testamur

If you attend your graduation ceremony, you will receive your certificate at the ceremony. You will also receive a copy of your academic transcript with the compliments of the University.

If you do not attend your graduation ceremony, you will be graduated in absentia and your certificate and transcript 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 and transcript 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 2011 but elect to defer attending a graduation ceremony until December2011, you will:

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

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