A testamur (or graduation certificate) is a legal document that satisfies Australian Qualifications Framework (AQF) requirements. Your testamur includes your name, the qualification you completed, the date of conferral and the University seal. Testamurs are available to all students when they graduate at a ceremony or in absentia.
Proof of graduation for employers and other opportunities. A hard copy testamur is suitable for framing, to showcase your achievements.
A testamur is available to all RMIT students who have been conferred (graduated).
The type of testamur you receive depends on your qualification.
You must wait until after you have graduated from your program (at a ceremony or in absentia) before you can access or order a testamur.
For vocational education students, your testamur is included in your VE Qualification Statement (see section below).
*This will be subtracted from the ceremony fee for 2023 in absentia graduates.
You can order a replacement hardcopy of your testamur for $170 including tracked postage. Please note, alumni are entitled to only one hard copy of their testamur. Delivery time is 4-6 weeks from the date of your order.

A VE Qualification Statement is only available to students who have completed a vocational education program (certificate I-IV and diploma programs).
If you are currently studying in your vocational education program, you will not be able to request a VE Qualification Statement until you have completed your program.
Higher education (bachelor and post-graduate programs) and Foundation Studies students receive a testamur in place of a VE Qualification Statement.
48 hours after you have been marked as 'complete' in your program, you can access or order a VE Qualification Statement containing your Vocational Education Qualification and list of competencies/modules.
Once you have graduated at a ceremony or in absentia, your vocational education testamur will be added to your VE Qualification Statement.
*This will be subtracted from the ceremony fee for 2022 in absentia graduates.

Your Australian Higher Education Graduation Statement (AHEGS) provides details of your studies in a higher education program. It can be used to have your qualification recognised internationally.
AHEGS is an Australian Government initiative designed to promote the national and international professional recognition of Australian qualifications, and the international mobility of Australian graduates.
An AHEGS is only available to students who have graduated from a higher education program (bachelor and post-graduate programs) from 1 December 2011 onwards.

A Statement of Academic Completion (SAC) is a document that confirms you have completed all the requirements of your program. A SAC is an optional completion document and is different to a testamur (graduation certificate).
A SAC can be used to demonstrate language of program delivery and study dates for visa purposes.
For most other purposes we recommend using your academic transcript (see above), which also includes completion and conferral dates, where applicable.
A SAC is only available to students who have completed their program from 2005 onwards.
From October 2022, if you are marked as ‘complete’ in your program, a digital copy of your SAC will be available free via My eQuals within 48 hours after the school has confirmed your completion.
Completed students and alumni from 2005 onwards are able to order a set of available digital academic statements (including the SAC) for $25 via Student Forms. Allow 2-3 business days from the date of your order.
