Degree certificate (testamur)

A testamur is the certificate you receive when you graduate. If you graduate in absentia, we will post your certificate to you. This takes about 2-3 weeks.

Update your address details in the Web Enrolment System (WES) if necessary:

• current students (login)
• past students (login)

If you live overseas, provide your current residential or business address. We do not send certificates to post office boxes. If you don't receive your certificate and notify us within 12 months, you will be charged for a replacement.

Replacement certificate

You can request a replacement certificate if the original is:

• lost
• damaged
• stolen
• incorrect due to a name change.

You need to submit an application for a replacement testamur (pdf 112kb). It will take about 3 weeks to receive your replacement certificate.

Change of name

To change the name on your certificate:

• follow the steps to change your personal information
• include appropriate documentation, e.g. a marriage certificate.

Common uses

Graduates often frame and display their certificates in their place of business (e.g. doctor’s office). This provides clients with printed evidence of your qualification to work in that field.
