Graduation advice: Autumn and Spring 2020
With the safety and wellbeing of the UTS community in mind, graduation ceremonies for Autumn (Wednesday 29 April to Tuesday 19 May) and Spring (Monday 7 October - Friday 16 October) have been postponed.
It’s too soon to say when UTS will be able to reschedule these ceremonies, but we will keep you informed of any plans for future dates (so keep an eye on your UTS email) and we look forward to celebrating your hard-earned achievement with you.
It’s important that you get the chance to enjoy your graduation on campus when it can be the celebration it’s meant to be.
We know graduations are an exciting time for students and that you’re looking forward to celebrating with your family and friends and we are working on making that possible, when it’s safe to do so.
Please find important information below regarding the conferral of your award and official graduation documentation.
Graduation documentation
While you may not be able to take part in a graduation ceremony for the moment, you can be assured access to your digital graduation documents once your degree has been conferred by Academic Board.
Irrespective of postponed ceremonies in 2020, your digital documentation will be made available to you (Autumn from 31 March and Spring from 1 September) and you will have access to the following:
- Academic record (transcript)
- Australian Higher Education Statement (AHEGS)
- UTS testamur.
You will receive a separate email for each digital document once it is available. These emails will be sent to your preferred email address as recorded in MyStudentAdmin, under the ‘Personal Details’ tab.
If you don’t already have a My eQuals account, now is the perfect time to create one. Find out how to create an account or visit the My eQuals website (opens external site).
If you require any further information relating to the Coronavirus, please visit the Coronavirus advice and frequently asked questions. For specific graduation questions, please askUTS and add into your subject headline ‘Graduations’.

The ceremony includes an academic procession. Students wear academic dress, receive a certificate of participation and are presented to the representative of the Vice-Chancellor and President. Students won’t receive the testamur or formal results at this event.
