Replacement Certificate

In accordance with the University's policy concerning the issuing of certificates to replace testamurs which have been lost damaged or destroyed, the following conditions must be met before a signed Replacement Certificate can be issued:

  1. A written application (Certificate Request Form) must be received stating the applicant's full name, (ie the name that was printed on the original testamur), the applicant's previous identification number (if known), the title of the award and the year in which the award was conferred.
  2. The application must also be accompanied by a Statutory Declaration stating that the testamur has been lost, destroyed or damaged. Also an explanation of the circumstances in which this has happened should be provided, together with the return of the damaged or destroyed testamur. In the case of loss, an undertaking should be given to return the replacement certificate in the event of the original testamur subsequently being found.
  3. The administrative charge of AUD $50.00 is paid. A cheque or money order made payable to the University of Canberra for this amount should be enclosed with the application. If payment by credit card, we would require the following details, card type, number, expiry date and signature. Should you have any queries concerning this information please do not hesitate to contact the Graduation Office.

The University Council recently agreed to issue replacement certificates to graduates who request a name change on their Testamur.  Proof of name change must be included with the replacement certificate request form.
