Congratulations - You've completed your course!
Conferral is the official awarding of your degree/award by the university.
All students are automatically conferred after completion. Your degree/award will be allocated a conferral date that you are deemed eligible, followed by notification from Graduation Services.
Once your college has reviewed your studies and determined your degree/award has been completed, you will be marked as passed and your unofficial transcript will be updated with the following statement:
“Completed the requirements for (degree) on (date)”

Completion: The date range your degree/award may have been completed by your College.
Update details: Your details need to be up to date in the Student System.
Conferral date: The date that will appear on your Graduation documents.
My eQuals: The final date you will receive your digital Graduation documents, including your testamur, academic transcript and Australian Higher Education Graduation Statement (AHEGS).
Your testamur is your official certificate, or parchment, from the University. It is issued after your degree/award has been conferred.
Students allocated a conferral date from November 2021, can self select via the Student System:
Graduates conferred in October 2021 and prior who have not collected their testamur, please view step 6 on receiving your testamur.
All students must be conferred in order to receive their testamur and digital Graduation documents via My eQuals.
The Student System is Flinders’ main student administrative system.
Graduands are able to select whether they will attend a graduation ceremony or not via the Student System, once they have been allocated a conferral date. Graduands will be notified once a conferral date has been allocated. Once the conferral date has passed, self-selection will no longer be available.
Whether you plan to attend a Graduation Ceremony or receive your testamur in absence (not attending), an option needs to be selected in the Student System.
However, please be aware that once you choose a not attending option for postage, collection or collection by agent, you will not be able to attend a graduation ceremony for this degree/award at any time in the future.
An attendance option has not yet been chosen.
Choose this option to attend the next graduation ceremony you are eligible for.
The degree/award that you select the attending option for will be the cohort you cross the stage with at the graduation ceremony.
Choose this option if you are completing two degrees/awards and would like to receive both testamurs at your graduation ceremony.
Please be aware that if you are attending Graduation for multiple degrees/awards, you will attend one ceremony to receive both testamurs.
Choose this option to have your testamur posted to your preferred address. Testamurs are sent after your allocated conferral date, which you are able to view in the Student System.
Postage fees apply, please refer to receiving your testamur.
Choose this option to collect your testamur from Flinders Connect at Bedford Park campus.
Collection bookings will be available after your allocated conferral date, which you are able to view in the Student System.
To book your collection date, please refer to receiving your testamur.
Choose this option to nominate a friend or family member to collect your testamur from Flinders Connect at Bedford Park campus.
Collection bookings will be available after your allocated conferral date, which you are able to view in the Student System.
Your friend or family member will need to provide photographic identification upon collection.
To book your collection date, please refer to receiving your testamur.
If you have outstanding debts owing to the University (sanctions), your degree/award will still be conferred.
However, your paper testamur, digital testamur, academic transcript and Australian Higher Education Graduation Statement (AHEGS) will not be released until all sanctions have been paid or instalment plans have been finalised. These sanctions are not limited to the course of study you wish to graduate with, they will also be applied for post graduate courses you are currently enrolled in.
To view sanctions please follow the instructions below:
Payments take up to three business days to process. If you would like the sanction removed prior to this, please submit an Ask Flinders request asking for the sanction to be removed and attach a copy of your payment receipt. Requests can only be processed if a copy of your receipt is attached.
There are three (3) ways in which to receive your testamur; at a graduation ceremony; collection from Flinders Connect; or by post.
Choosing to attend a graduation ceremony will mean that your testamur is awarded to you at your ceremony.
If you do not wish to attend a graduation ceremony, your testamur will be made available from your allocated conferral date which you are able to view in the Student System. Important to note you will not be able to attend a graduation ceremony for the same award at any time in the future.
Graduates will receive access to digital versions of their documents via My eQuals which will include a testamur, official academic transcript and Australia Higher Education Graduation Statement (AHEGS).
Choosing to attend a graduation ceremony will mean that your testamur is presented to you on graduation day.
Graduates conferred between January 2020 to October 2021 were advised in advance to express their interest in attending a future ceremony.
You can either collect your testamur in person or nominate someone (collection agent) to collect on your behalf from Flinders Connect on Bedford Park campus.
Flinders Connect is located on Level 0 of the Central Library on Bedford Park campus.
Collection is available Tuesdays to Fridays only (not Mondays).
Degree postage costs are AU$15 for postage within Australia and AU$45 for international postage.
Payment methods:
Postage may take up to 4 - 8 weeks to arrive.
Your testamur will be held by the university for up to two (2) years from your conferral date. If you have not received your testamur and it has been two (2) years since your degree/award was conferred, you will need to request a replacement testamur.
