TIP: Status of HOLD means you have NOT yet made a graduation choice

Note for Education Graduands: Student Administration Services will provide a copy of your final academic transcript to the NSW Department of Education and Communities and the Graduate Recruitment Program for eligible education graduands. Copies are forwarded on the same day your final academic transcript is mailed to you.

Honours degrees

If you are intending to continue your studies and complete a separate year of Honours, you are still entitled to attend a ceremony and graduate with your first Bachelor degree. Once you have completed your Honours year you will be entitled to attend a further ceremony to graduate with your Honours degree.

This does not apply if you have completed an Honours award which is incorporated within your Bachelor degree. You will receive one testamur only and be eligible to attend only one Graduation Ceremony.

Name changes

Your award will be conferred in the exact name recorded by the University. That is the name that will appear on your academic transcript, AHEGS and testamur. If you wish to change your name you are required to complete the Request for Change of Name form and provide certified documentation showing your legal name.

For more information about changing your name on your graduation documents, please contact the Graduation Office by emailing studentgradinfo@scu.edu.au

Name changes must be finalised at least three (3) weeks prior to your conferral date.

Postal address

Please ensure that you keep the University advised of your correct postal address. Your preferred address will be used to mail your final academic transcript and AHEGS. You can update your address and phone number in My Enrolment (Details tab).
