Academic Conduct Report for VLAB

An Academic Conduct Report is a letter provided (emailed) to the Victorian Legal Admissions Board to support graduands' and past students’ application for admission as an Australian Lawyer. It confirms that we have searched our records and states whether we hold any records or reports of concerning behaviour, consistent with VLAB’s definition of misconduct.

The report is usually only required from RMIT if you completed a Priestley subject at RMIT. 

Please note that the Report does not include a copy of your RMIT transcript. Please share your certified RMIT transcript via My eQuals. Link to information about how to share your transcript is provided below.

Please submit your request at least three weeks before you need your report (excluding University holidays). We aim to prepare and submit your report within three weeks of receiving your complete request, and will do so earlier wherever possible.

Please also note the following information which may impact your decision when to request your report:

• Please ensure all RMIT course results (and credit) have been finalised and published
• If you have completed an RMIT Juris Doctor or Bachelor of Laws, please ensure your transcript in My eQuals shows the completion date under the program title
• We close for approximately two weeks during the Christmas-New Year period, and one week at Easter (March/April)
• Victorian Legal Admissions Board's admission deadlines
• RMIT will provide you with one free Academic Conduct Report.

Email your request to arg.academicconductreport@rmit.edu.au via an address registered with RMIT for enrolment or graduation purposes. This could be your RMIT student email address (if you still have access) or a registered personal email address.

If you no longer have access to either email address, please advise in your request and we will discuss alternative arrangements.
