Alumni life

You’re now officially a member of the University of Canberra alumni community. You'll find a lot of valuable information on this page however you can also visit UC Alumni for more.

We’re here to continue to support you and invite you to stay connected. Don’t forget to let us know about your future career success! Here are some of the ways we can connect.

Graduation documents

Academic transcript

Academic transcript

Your academic transcript is a certified record of your enrolment history at the University of Canberra, including your results, the courses you’ve started and your conferred awards.

How you receive copies of your testamur and transcript will depend on whether you graduate in person or in absentia. Either way, you should receive an email link that will give you access to free electronic versions of your graduation documents via My eQuals after the event. If you don’t receive this email, contact the Student Centre.

I graduated in person


You will have received free hard copies of your testamur and academic transcript.

I graduated in absentia


You can collect free hard copies of your testamur and academic transcript in person by bringing a valid photo identification to the Student Centre. We'll contact you by email if you've not collected these documents several weeks after the ceremony and ask you to confirm your address so we can send them to you by courier.

Testamur

Testamur

Your testamur is your official academic certificate confirming the completion of your award. You can order a new hard copy testamur for $150 and choose to have it delivered by post or collect it at the Student Centre. Cite your student ID number when you place the order; if you forget to do so, let us know by sending an email to the Student Centre.

Replace a lost or damaged testamur

If your testamur has been lost, damaged or destroyed, you'll need to follow these steps before we can give you a new hard copy:
  • Provide a completed and witnessed statutory declaration that states your testamur has been lost, damaged or destroyed, describing how this happened. If it's been lost, you should say in your statutory declaration that you'll return the replacement certificate if you find the original.
  • Return your damaged testamur in person to the Student Centre or via registered mail to: Replacement certificate, Student Centre, University of Canberra, ACT, 2601, Australia.
Order a hard copy testamur

Change your name on your testamur
If you change your name after graduating, complete the Change of Name Form and attach any official documents which support the change, such as your marriage certificate or Deed Poll documentation, when you order a new testamur. You can also order a new digital copy of your testamur and other academic documents via My eQuals.

Digital versions

Digital versions

As a University of Canberra graduate, you can access digital versions of the following academic documents free-of-charge via My eQuals:

  • Statement of Academic Record (official academic transcript)
  • Australian Higher Education Graduate Statement (AHEGS)
  • your testamur.
My eQuals allows you to access your documents 24/7 from anywhere in the world and securely share them online with anyone, including employers and other universities. Sharing is via secure hyperlink or email and you’ll be able to control who receives them and for how long. My eQuals also lets you print electronically authorised hard copies.

Set up My eQuals account
After graduation, we'll send an email to your student email with a link to the My eQuals platform. Follow this link to create your My eQuals account using your student email address.
Once you’ve logged in, go to the profile settings and change your contact email address to another personal one and register your social media accounts. That way, you'll be able to access your digital documents when your student email expires one month after graduation.

Career support

Our career resources are still available to you 12 months after you graduate. Here are some steps that can help you launch or progress your career once you’ve finished studying. 

  1. Check out our resources 
    The careers toolkit is a great place to start your graduate career journey. It offers guidance on how to create a cover letter or resume, respond to selection criteria, perform well in an interview and more.

  2. Meet with a careers adviser 
    If you have questions about your resume or cover letter, or you’re not sure what sort of career you’d like to pursue, contact Careers UC. We can help you with this and with identifying the skills you have or need to have to apply for a particular job. 

  3. Prepare for a graduate program position 
    Search our graduate program toolkit for guidance on addressing selection criteria, psychometric and deductive reasoning tests and insights to careers in various disciplines and fields. The toolkit also features jobs and specific industry guides. 

  4. Find a graduate job 
    Search our jobs listing to find amazing graduate, traineeship and internship programs and positions in Canberra and Australia’s other capital cities. We also advertise fabulous opportunities in smaller regional areas and overseas, in places such as Singapore, South Korea, Japan, the United Kingdom, Vietnam and China. 

  5. Meet with employers and industry
    If you haven’t already, now’s the time to attend careers expos, such as Tertiary to Work held in March each year, and Employer Connect held in August each year.
