• Checklist for your final session

  In your final session of study, you'll get access to the "course completion" steps in My Student Admin (MSA). This will include:

  • Checking your personal details are correct (including your formal name which will appear on your transcript, testamur and AHEGS).
  • Checking that your contact details are correct (including your personal email and phone number, in case we need to contact you after you've conferred).
  • Ensuring you've provided a verified Unique Student Identifier (USI).
  • Checking there are no sanctions against your account (including clearing outstanding debts and fines and returning all equipment). 

  Please ensure you've saved all the files you wish to keep on your student account to your personal device, as these will be deleted as you transition to an alumni account. 

• Set to passed

  When you've received your final results and have completed and passed all of the credit points within your study plan, your course status can be set to passed. If your course status in My Student Admin (MSA) is marked as passed, that means you've successfully completed the course requirements for your award. 

  If you're a , once your thesis has been approved your award can be set to passed and you'll be conferred in the next available conferral period. 

  How long does it take to be set to passed after my final results are released?

  Usually this happens within a couple of weeks of your final results being released. 

  Is there anything I can do to speed up the process?

  Being set to passed is an automatic process, there's nothing you can do to speed it up. 

  While you're waiting to be set to passed

  If you need evidence that you've met the academic requirements for your course, please contact the UTS Student Centre for further information.

  After you've been set to passed, while you're waiting for conferral

  You can apply for a statement of course completion letter, or you can choose to purchase a transcript. The transcript will indicate that the course is 'Complete' and ‘Yet to be conferred’. After conferral, you'll still receive an updated transcript to show that you've been conferred.

• Digital graduation documents

  By default, you'll receive your transcript and AHEGS digitally via My eQuals (opens external site). You'll receive a separate notification email for each digital document once it is available. These emails will be sent to your preferred email address as recorded in My Student Admin (MSA) under the personal details tab.

• Hard copy graduation documents

  All students will receive a hard copy testamur and you can choose how you wish to receive it. If you'd like to receive all your documents in hard copy instead of digitally, you'll need to opt out of My eQuals in My Student Admin (MSA) during the course completion steps before you're conferred. If you opt out of digital documents, you'll receive a single transcript and AHEGS in hard copy at the same time as your testamur. 

  PG Online graduates: your hard copy testamur will be mailed out to you in the weeks following your conferral date. 
  All other graduates: read more about document collection.
