Details about how to access your digital documents via My eQuals will be sent to your university-provided email address one business day after your award has been conferred. Please note that this could be months earlier than the graduation ceremony you are invited to celebrate your conferral at. You can find information on dates on the Conferral dates webpage.
Graduation-related documents
Official Letter
An Official Letter is commonly shown to employers, potential employers and registration boards. It can also be used to assist visa application requirements if you or your guests are travelling from overseas to attend your ceremony. An Official Letter can be purchased for use in the graduation process as follows:
If you are currently studying the final trimester of your program, you can request an Official Letter to show your graduation eligibility status and expected graduation date.
If you have already completed your program requirements, but not graduated yet, you can request an Official Letter to confirm you have met your degree requirements even though you haven't received your testamur (degree certificate) yet.
Higher Degrees by Research (HDR) candidates can request an Official Letter to confirm enrolment, scholarship details, thesis submission and completion date.
Official Letters are produced on official Griffith University letterhead. The online request form specifies the current fees/charges.
Testamur (degree certificate)
A testamur is a degree certificate issued by the University Council to signify you have completed the requirements of your program.
A paper certificate is issued at your graduation ceremony (if attending) or by mail (if not attending or graduating in a non-ceremony round). Higher Degrees by Research candidates will have their testamur issued approximately two weeks after your conferral. If you are conferred less than a month before the next round of ceremonies, your paper testamur will be held until the ceremonies. If you don't attend, it will be mailed to you after the ceremonies.
Digital certificates are issued via My eQuals one business day after your conferral date. Instructions about how to access your digital certificate will be sent to your university-provided email. Those who graduated before July 2017 can request digital access for a fee listed below.

at the discretion of the Graduations Office
in the current style
with the word 'Replacement'.

Helpful resource
How do I access my digital academic records and/or graduation documents?
Answer
If you graduated in July 2017 or beyond, you can securely share your digital graduation documents with any third party you choose for any length of time via My eQuals.
Additionally, employers can sign up to the Graduations Verification Service (GVS)Â offered within My eQuals.
You can also refer employers or other third parties to use our free Online Degree Verification (ODV) service if you graduated from 2002 onwards.
Â
If you graduated pre-2002 or cannot locate your details in the ODV service, you can either:
- Ask your employer to email verifications@griffith.edu.au (written and signed consent from you as the graduate must be attached to the email). Please allow five working days for processing.Â
- Request an Official Academic Transcript to show your graduation date as well as grades for each completed trimester or semester of study. If you studied at Griffith prior to 2001 or at one of Griffith's former institutions, please see How to apply for an Academic Transcript if you studied at Griffith pre-2001 or a former institution.
