I am a past student. Can I still get my past results?

Official Results Certificates are available free of charge to current and past students of Swinburne. Click here for information on how to get one.

I have lost my certificate, can I get another one?

Yes, you can apply for another certificate. To apply for a replacement download the Replacement Testamur Request Application form from the Student Forms website.

The form will outline the required documents and the cost applicable to your application.

You must also submit a Statutory Declaration form, forms can be downloaded from the Department of Justice website or purchased from any newsagent.

The Statutory Declaration must state your name, student ID, address, phone contact, title of course for the required testamur. You must also outline the circumstances as to why you need a replacement testamur. Your signature on the Statutory Declaration must be witnessed by an authorised witness.

Visit the Awards & Ceremonies website for more information.

I need past course/subject outlines. Are these available?

Past course and subject outlines are available on the library website. The course outlines that are available date back to 1964. Click here to visit the course guide and handbook archive.

Courses and units completed in recent years can also be found on Course Finder.

For further information please contact the relevant Faculty or TAFE Department.

I finished my course but I never received my certificate, what can I do?

Did you apply to graduate? If not you need to apply for graduation in order to receive your testamur (even if you do not plan to attend a graduation ceremony).

You can choose to either attend a graduation ceremony ($110*) or have your testamur mailed out to you (free mailout to Australian address, *$50 for overseas mailout)

To apply download the Award/Graduation Application form from the Student Forms website.

For more information visit the Awards & Ceremonies website.

Can a past student apply for a Letter of Completion?

Yes a past student can obtain a letter of completion if they have graduated from a Swinburne course. A letter of completion states your personal details and details of your course completion.

An LOC comes in handy for students who require evidence of completion of their course without having to part with their testamur (certificate).

You cannot apply for an LOC without submitting an application for graduation or having graduated.

It generally takes about 3-4 weeks for your LOC to be mailed out. If you require your LOC urgently, please supply documentation as proof of urgency when you apply for your LOC.

Besides an LOC, an Academic Transcript (AT) will also provide details of completion. An AT combines your results statement for the course and the completion details. AT takes about 15 working days to process, longer if you have completed but not yet graduated or graduated prior to 2000. You must also have applied for graduation before applying for an AT.

You may request for one LOC free of charge per course.

To apply download the Letter of Completion form from the Student Forms website.

For more information visit the Awards & Ceremonies website.

I have graduated and I need an Academic Transcript. How do I obtain one?

An Academic Transcript has your results PLUS an extra section at the end, detailing the title of the course that you have completed and your completion date. You are only eligible for an Academic Transcript (AT) if you have completed the course and graduated.
