Evidence of Qualification

What is Evidence of Qualification?

If you need to provide proof of your University of Melbourne qualification, then 'Evidence of qualification' can be obtained by:

Using the free online Verification of Qualification service. This is a public service that allows students, alumni and third parties to find out the name(s) of the qualification(s), and the year(s) that they were conferred for any requested student. Please note this service only shows courses that have been conferred.
Obtaining an Evidence of Qualification letter
Referring to the academic transcript (lists all courses completed), or the AHEGS or testamur (a separate AHEGS and testamur is issued for each course that has been completed).

What is an Evidence of Qualification letter?

The Evidence of Qualification letter is an official University statement that organisations may need to verify your University of Melbourne qualification. It includes:

Your family name, given name and any other given names
Your Student ID number
Your date of birth
The course(s) you were enrolled in at the University
The date(s) you commenced the course at the University
Your course completion date
The conferring (graduation) date if you have graduated
Your status as a full or part-course student
The language of instruction was English
The location of the campus where you studied
Signature of an authorised delegate of the Academic Registrar
Additional information can be included on request

Note: Courses that a student has completed are listed on their academic transcript. The testamur and AHEGS (issued once a student has graduated) also lists what degree has been completed.
