Academic transcripts
What is an Academic Transcript?
An academic transcript is an official record of all study undertaken at the University of Sydney and/or the amalgamated colleges. The transcript includes yearly enrolment details (including any current enrolment), units of study, unit of study codes, results achieved (including fail grades or units discontinued after the census date), and course completion or conferral details. Transcripts are only available in hard copy.
Certificates of graduate status
If you have already attended a graduation ceremony you can obtain a certificate of graduate status. This is an official statement which shows only your degree name and your graduation date. No units of study or results are included. This document is not the same as your degree certificate (testamur). For information about replacing a lost or damaged testamur, see replacement testamurs.
How do I order my transcript?
If you studied at the University of Sydney from 1981 onwards, academic transcripts and certificates of graduate status are available on-the-spot (photo ID required) from:
- The Student Centre, Level 3, Jane Foss Russell Building, Darlington Campus
(Mon to Fri, 9am - 5pm) - Student Central Enquiry Counter, Ground Floor, 'F' Block, Cumberland Campus
(Mon to Thu 10am - 4pm, Fri 10am - 2pm)
If you are unable to attend in person, or if you were first enrolled before 1981 or at an amalgamated college, you must lodge the following:
- a Request for Academic Transcript form; and
- a specimen (photocopy) of your signature as it appears on a document of personal identification (e.g. a driver's license or passport). This can be any document that required a 100 point ID check to obtain.
Faculty of Health Sciences students should use the FHS academic transcript application form.
