Description

An Academic Transcript is an official document which states your course, subjects and results, completion date, graduation date and is signed.

If you have not completed the course, please apply for a Results Certificate.

Cost

$50 for two (2) copies with an additional $5 per copy.
An application needs to be lodged individually for each course(s) required.

Note: If Academic Transcript is not needed urgently, students can wait until their graduation ceremony to receive two free copies of their Academic Transcript. Click here for further details.

Application Procedure

You can lodge it by fax, mail or in person at any Student Information Centre at any Swinburne campus.

Information on lodgement is listed on the application form.

Note: To avoid delays, please remember to attach a photocopy of a photo ID of yourself with your application unless you are lodging it in person. We will sight your photo ID when you show up in person.

Processing Time

The turnaround time is 15 working days, longer if you have completed but not yet graduated or graduated prior to 2000.

If you have not graduated you must put in an Application for Award / Graduation form before you can lodge and receive your Academic Transcript(s).

Other Information

What is the difference between an Academic Transcript and a Result Certificate?
Both documents are official Swinburne documents, printed on Swinburne shield watermarked paper. If you have not graduated from your course or do not require course completion details, you can apply for your Results. The processing time for Results is shorter. If you are eligible for your results (ie no monies outstanding etc) we can produce your Results for you over the counter at any SIC.

Free copy of Academic Transcript at the time of graduation.
Every student that applies to graduate will receive two free copies of their Academic Transcript at the time of graduation. Transcripts will be presented to students at their graduation ceremony, or will be mailed to them two weeks after the ceremony date if they are graduating in absentia.

Putting in a proxy application.
You may put an application form in and pay on someone’s behalf as long as you have an authorisation letter from the applicant. This must be signed. The person applying on the applicant’s behalf must provide photo ID.

This also applies if collecting on behalf of the applicant.

Urgent applications
If an application is urgent, sufficient proof must be attached to the application form eg visa with expiry date. This does not guarantee a quicker processing time.

Is there a cost for international mailing?
There are no extra costs for your Academic Transcripts to be mailed overseas.

Can you send Academic Transcripts to other institutes or multiple addresses?
We can mail your Academic Transcripts to as many addresses or institutes as you wish as long as you have clear instructions.

Please put along with your application form a letter stating where you would like your copies mailed and where you would like your receipt mailed.

Can my Academic Transcript be sent in individual envelopes?
Yes, we can seal your Academic Transcripts in separate envelopes as per your request as long as you have clear instructions.

Can you put a Swinburne seal on the envelopes?
We do not have a seal but we can stamp the back of the envelope with an official Swinburne stamp to show that the contents within have not been tampered with.

Can you fax/email me copies?
We cannot email you a copy but we can fax you a copy and mail the originals.

Note: The faxed copy will not be an official Swinburne document but may be of use until the original arrives in the mail.
