Document collection
Most UTS students or alumni choose to collect their official documentation from the university in person.
If you wish to proceed with this option, you should log in to My Student Admin during the graduation registration period and select the option 'collect'. Your testamur will be available for collection from the Building 10 Student Centre. The UTS Student Centre counter service is available via appointment only, book an appointment below to arrange for your testamur to be collected.
Current UTS students and staff
Future students, alumni and public
In order to collect your printed testamur, you must have at least one of the following forms of ID: UTS student card, Australian Drivers license, Passport or NSW 18+ card.
If you are unable to collect your official UTS documents in person, you can request that the documents be mailed to you, or you may arrange for a proxy to collect them on your behalf.
To arrange for your documents to be sent to a local or international address, please:
- select the mail option when completing the form specific to your particular document
- follow the mailout instructions noted on the form.
To arrange for someone else to collect your documents, please provide your proxy with :
- a complete the UTS document proxy collection form (PDF, 217kB)
- original certified copies of your identification.
This will help to streamline the process.
Note: if there is a cost associated with the documents, this must be paid prior to the documents being sent by mail or collected by proxy.
Printed testamur mailout
If you have already graduated from the course that you wish to obtain your printed testamur from, you can arrange to have it mailed to you by completing the document mailout fee form.
If you are eligible for graduation in an upcoming or current graduation round, you need to either:
1. Register on-time via My Student Admin and pay the printed testamur mailout fee.
2. Complete the late registration form if you did not register during the main round.
Note: printed testamurs are only kept for 12 months from the date of course conferral, after which they are destroyed. If you completed your course over 12 months ago, please see replacement documents.
