Testamur

 

Your Testamur is the official document confirming your qualification and is issued when your award is conferred.

Your Testamur includes:

  • your legal name, as recorded in ANUHub
  • the name of your Award
  • the date your Award was conferred
  • the ÃÛÌÒÊÓƵseal
  • the signatures of the Chancellor and Vice-Chancellor at the time of your conferral.

Your Testamur does not include:

  • academic subplans, such as majors, minors and specialisations
  • Honours classification
  • awards and prizes
  • individual course results or grades.

This information is recorded in your other conferral documents, including your academic transcript and Australian Higher Education Graduation Statement (AHEGS).

 

Replacement Testamur

You can apply for a replacement Testamur if you need to:

  • replace a lost, damaged or destroyed Testamur;
  • update the name on your Testamur;
  • require a digital Testamur through My eQuals if your original award predates digital graduation documents.

A replacement Testamur will be issued in the current ÃÛÌÒÊÓƵformat. It will show the original conferral date and the date the replacement was printed. The signatories may differ from those on your original Testamur.

Applications are generally processed within 5 business days of receipt by the Conferrals Office and payment of the required fee (if applicable). Processing may take longer during peak periods, particularly July/August and December/January. Delivery time is additional to the processing timeframe.
