Fast turnaround Academic Transcripts are available over the counter at the St. Lucia, Ipswich and Gatton Student Centres. For a fee of $20, a fast turnaround transcript may be ordered and collected in person within 15 minutes. Fast turnaround transcripts will be issued with the information on courses and results listed on your mySI-net Studies Report at the time of application. The current semester’s results will only be included in the Academic Transcript after they are officially released around the middle of July for Semester 1 and early December for Semester 2. You are advised to wait until your final grades have been posted before ordering an Academic Transcript via the Fast Turnaround method.

Change address for correspondence

Just before leaving the country, go into mySI-net and change your mailing address and your semester address to your home address overseas.

Examination timetable

Please remember that the examination timetable is strictly adhered to and is non-negotiable (except in a genuine emergency). You will usually not be able to apply for alternative examination times; therefore you should not make any travel plans until you know the date of your last exam or, if you want to book tickets early then book them after the official date for end of semester. The draft end of semester exam schedule is available on mySI-net about 1 month before final exams. Changes may be made to this schedule, so wait to see the finalised exam schedule on mySI-net before booking flights or paying travel deposits.

Keep course descriptions

It is suggested that before you go home you print the relevant course descriptions from the course catalogue on mySI-net. Keep these with your Academic Transcript as they may be helpful for job applications, or for future credit transfer if you wish to do further studies in other universities anywhere in the world.
