Preparing to graduate

The name on your Testamur

Your name will appear on your Testamur exactly as it appears in ISIS. The testamur is a legal document and as such, can only display your legal name. Testamurs cannot include nicknames, shortened or diminutive forms of your name, or initials. You may drop or reorder names, but not add names.

You should check how your name is recorded on ISIS via this pathway: 
NavBar (compass icon) > Menu > ISIS > Personal Details > Personal Information (see "Primary Name")

To correct or change the way your name is recorded ISIS, you must submit a Change of Name, Title or Date of Birth form by your invitation to graduate response deadline.

Your mailing address and contact phone number

When responding to your invitation to graduate, please ensure your mailing address and phone number/s are in English and up-to-date in ISIS. If you are graduating in absentia, this will ensure we post your Testamur to the correct address. 

You should check your personal details on ISIS via this pathway:
NavBar (compass icon) > Menu > ISIS > Personal Details > Addresses or Telephone Numbers

Please note: we cannot post to a PO Box address. There is no charge for postage.

You must respond to your invitation via your ISIS account. Conferral of your award/s will not occur if you do not respond to your invitation. 

You can respond to your invitation with one of the following options:

1. Will Attend: Choose this option if you would like to graduate in your current academic session and attend the Conferring of Awards ceremony. Your Testamur will be presented to you at the ceremony. 
2. In Absentia: Choose this option if you would like to graduate in your current academic session, but do not want to attend the ceremony. Your Testamur will be posted to your mailing address in ISIS, so please ensure it is up to date.
3. Defer: Choose this option if you do not wish to graduate now and want to defer the conferral of your award/s for up to 12 months. You will receive another invitation to confer in the future.

You will not be permitted to graduate if you have any outstanding fines or obligations to the University. Please make sure that all obligations are finalised well in advance of graduation to avoid disappointment. 

You will receive free electronic copies of your Testamur, Transcript and AHEGS within 72 hours of your conferral. These documents are uploaded securely to the My Equals platform, where you will have unlimited access to your documents online. 

For more information about your graduation documents, including optional purchase of hard copies of your Academic Transcripts or AHEGS, visit the Your Graduation Documents webpage. 

If you are attending a ceremony, the wearing of regalia is mandatory. Regalia can be hired or purchased from the University's preferred supplier, Reed Graduations Services, by following the link at the top of the page. 

Your final eligibility to confer will be listed on ISIS.
