Once conferred by Council, you will receive your Academic Transcript and Testamur for your course. 

For end of year conferals, your documentation will be posted to you via Registered Post, and you will be invited to the Graduation Ceremony the following year. 

For May conferals, you will be presented your documentation at Graduation Ceremony  or posted to you on request. 

If you have not completed your Exit Clearance by the time of Graduation, you will still be invited to attend but you will NOT receive your Transcript and Testamur during the ceremony.  Once you have returned any outstanding items/paid debt, then your documentation will be sent to you. 

 

Interim Academic Transcript available in April on request

 

An Interim Academic Transcripts will be available on special request from February 2026

An Interim Academic Transcript is an official document issued when an individual has been confirmed as having completed one or more accredited units.  This is only provided after the Graduands List has been been approved completed by the Academic Board but has not yet been conferred for Graduation. 

This will only be required if a Graduand is apply for further study or overseas visa etc where proof of course completion is required BEFORE Graduation. 

This is a printed document and not available as a soft copy so it must be printed on AFTRS Letterhead and mailed/collected by Graduand, who can then scan it to email out as necessary.
