Academic transcripts and statements
Learn about academic transcripts and statements, what documents you receive once you graduate and what other documents you can order.
The University provides a range of digital statements and transcripts which are widely accepted by third parties. Digital documents are also quick and easy for you to obtain and share with others, and better for the environment.
What is an academic transcript?
An academic transcript is an official record of your studies at the University of Melbourne. You will receive an academic transcript along with other documents highlighted in the section ‘What transcripts and statements do I receive when I complete my course?’.
If an organisation or prospective employer has requested evidence of your enrolment, they’re often requesting official records. You might want to provide your transcript to an employer, or register with an overseas professional accreditation body, government, DFAT, employers or global verification agencies.
How to verify a student's qualification
If you are an employer or institution looking to verify a student’s attendance and/or qualification, access the free Verification of Qualification service. If you require more detailed information, or if the degree has been completed but not yet formally conferred, you will need to purchase a Verification of Qualification letter online.
