Completion letter
This letter can be used to confirm completion of your qualification before you have graduated and received your academic transcript.
Your completion letter can be used to confirm completion of your qualification to professional bodies and associations, and the Department of Home Affairs.
When is it available?
After the release of your final results, we need to check that you have completed the requirements for your course (which includes having all grades in your degree finalised) and confirm that you are eligible to graduate.
We will then email you and let you know your completion letter is available in Sydney Student (go to 'My studies', then 'Assessments'). This will usually take a couple of weeks.
Unfortunately we’re not able to provide hard copies of your completion letter at the Student Centre.
Courses with longer waiting times
If you are studying in the following courses, it may take longer before your completion letter is available:
- Bachelor of Animal and Veterinary Bioscience
- Bachelor of Education
- Bachelor of Science (Advanced) and Bachelor of Science (Advanced Mathematics)
- Undergraduate Agriculture degrees
- Honours degrees

If you qualify to graduate with a Graduate Certificate or Graduate Diploma in Semester 1, your completion letter will be available from mid-August. If you qualify to graduate in Semester 2, it will be available in late January the following year. This is to allow you time to upgrade your course if you'd like to.
Once you receive your results, if you decide not to upgrade, you can submit an online enquiry to request your completion letter if eligible. Be aware it may take several days to action your request.
