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.
A Statement of Completion is your notification that you have completed your program. The Statement of Completion can be used as proof of your graduate status until you receive your testamur and complimentary official Statement of Academic Record at the Graduation ceremony.
The Statement of Academic Record (academic transcript) issued at your graduation contains the date that the award was conferred as well as a notation of “Requirements Completed” and will list any major(s) and minor(s) confirmed by your faculty.
Receiving your Degree Certificate
Graduates receive their testamur during the Graduation ceremony. Testamurs are posted to inabsentia graduates within 10 working days following the ceremony. Ensure your testamur is sent to the correct address by keeping your contact details up-to-date on USCCentral. Please be aware that the time taken for testamurs to reach international destinations can vary greatly from country to country.
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.
