Obtaining a Degree Certificate (testamur)
The Degree Certificate (commonly known as a testamur) is the official document that identifies you as a graduate of the University of the Sunshine Coast.
When you receive your Statement of Completion – your notification of eligibility to graduate – you will also receive an official Statement of Academic Record (also known as an academic transcript). The transcript will contain a notation of “Requirements Completed” and will list any major(s) and minor(s) confirmed by your faculty. The transcript and your Letter of Completion can be used as proof of your graduate status until you receive your testamur at the Graduation ceremony.
Receiving your Degree Certificate
Graduates receive their testamur during the Graduation ceremony. Two weeks after the ceremony, testamurs are posted to inabsentia graduates. Ensure your testamur is sent to the correct address by keeping your contact details up-to-date on USCCentral.
Replacing your Degree Certificate
Replacement testamurs can be requested through Student Administration. A replacement testamur can also be requested if you change your name. A Statutory Declaration is required and a replacement fee of A$50 applies.
