Australian Higher Education Graduation Statement (AHEGS)

From December 2011, RMIT higher education graduates will receive an Australian Higher Education Graduation Statement (AHEGS).

The AHEGS details the nature, level, context and status of your studies. It is intended to assist in national and international recognition of Australian qualifications and to promote international mobility and professional recognition of Australian graduates.

If you are graduating from more than one higher education program you will receive multiple AHEGS.

How to obtain your AHEGS

Graduates automatically receive via post one AHEGS free of charge.

To obtain your AHEGS you must first apply to graduate.

  • If you attend the Melbourne Graduation Ceremony in December, you will receive your AHEGS in February of the following year.
  • If you graduate in absentia you will receive your AHEGS approximately six weeks after the award is conferred.

Note: An AHEGS will not be produced if you owe a financial debt to the University.

How to obtain additional copies or reprints

A fee applies for additional copies or reprints of your AHEGS.

Alternatively, a friend or relative can purchase an AHEGS on your behalf provided they have a signed letter of authority from you that states your name, their name, your date of birth, details of the program/s you studied and the clear instruction that you wish them to purchase an AHEGS on your behalf, or
