On the day of your conferral, you will also receive free of charge access to a digital copy of your graduation certificate (testamur) via My eQuals. Your academic transcript and AHEGS will be available five business days after your graduation (conferral date). My eQuals will email you once the document is ready to use.

What if I do not receive my certificate in the expected time-frame?

Please contact Stop 1 if you don't receive your certificate. If your certificate was unable to be delivered and has been returned to the University, you will need to contact us to have it sent again.
