Academic transcripts and statements

Learn about academic transcripts and statements, what documents you receive once you graduate and what other documents you can order.

Ordering and requesting transcripts and statements

Find out how to get transcripts and other documents, including digital statements which are widely accepted by third parties.

  • Academic transcript

    Your academic transcript is the official academic record of your studies at the University of Melbourne. Scholarships approved by the University’s Academic Board are also included on academic transcripts.

    You will receive an academic transcript along with other documents highlighted in the section ‘What transcripts and statements do I receive when I complete my course?’.

    If an organisation or prospective employer has requested evidence of your enrolment, they’re often requesting official records. You might want to provide your transcript to an employer, or register with an overseas professional accreditation body, government, DFAT, employers or global verification agencies.

    Select this option, typically when providing your academic records to other universities, overseas registration organisations, employers and government agencies.

  • Apostille (Also known as Legalisation)

    Australian education documents sometimes need to be legalised by the Australian Government before they can be used in a foreign country. When the document is legalised it is marked with an 'apostille' stamp that is applied by an Australian Passport Office of the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT). If ordering a hardcopy Academic Statement, a student or graduate may request that the document be certified (signed and stamped) by an authorised officer of the University for the purposes of an Apostille application.  This is not usually required for Testamurs as the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade can usually be verify the document against our free online Verification of Qualification website.  To notify us that you require a document to be certified for the purposes of an Apostille application, please state this in the special requirements box in your order. Visit the Apostille FAQ for more information.
