How to verify a student's qualification (third parties)

The University of Melbourne offers this Verification of Qualification service to employers and other external organisations who wish to confirm that a candidate has completed a qualification at the University of Melbourne.

For graduates who have recently had their degree conferred or diploma granted, these qualifications will be available via this service approximately 5 working days after their graduation.

  • Most records for graduates from affiliated institutions, or institutions that were merged with the University of Melbourne, are not available via this service. Nor are records for University of Melbourne graduates prior to 1974.

    Listed below are some of the institutions we have merged/affiliated with and an indicative date as to how far back our electronic records go.
