Charles Sturt University

Testamurs contain your name, the course you completed, the date it was conferred, signatures of the Chancellor, the Vice-Chancellor, and the University Seal.

Replacement Testamurs require University Council approval (and also contain slightly different wording to indicate that it is indeed a replacement), so your request will be presented at the next scheduled monthly Council meeting and the issuing of your document will depend on when the next Council meeting is.

From May 2021, replacement Testamurs will be uploaded and available digitally via My eQuals. Excluding if a Testamur is already available in My eQuals unless the replacement is due to a change of name, in which instance the current digital Testamur will be revoked and replaced with the new replacement copy.

You can only be issued one Testamur at any given time; additional copies are not permitted. If you still have your original Testamur, you will need to return it to the University.

Please note: If you have requested to change your name, please wait for confirmation that this has been processed prior to ordering replacement documents.

Do you need a replacement testamur?
Consider if you require this evidence to apply for a job or support applications for scholarships or further study. Most institutions are satisfied with an Academic Transcript for evidence of past study.

Identity Verification
On receipt of your request you’ll be asked to confirm your identity. You’ll receive an email with a statutory declaration form attached, this is to be completed and returned via email with a copy of your photo ID, a driver’s licence or passport.

Replacement Testamur requests can only be submitted by the graduand. If you are placing an order on behalf of someone else due to incapacitation etc, you will also need to upload a copy of your Identification as well as a copy of the power of attorney for verification.

Delivery of Replacement Testamur
Testamurs are now being sent to domestic students via Registered Post. This means you will need to sign for your testamur when it's delivered to you. If you're not available to sign for it, you will need to collect it from your post office. It may take up to 3 weeks for your testamur to arrive. If not collected and the documents are returned to the University, you may be charged a fee to resend them to you.

Please check your contact details prior to ordering, as we will post your testamur to the mailing address on your student record.
