Student services
If you choose to collect your transcript from Campus Central, you will need to bring photographic identification with you.
If you have graduated since 1 January 1998, you will automatically receive three copies of your academic transcript at no charge. One transcript will be sent to you once you have completed the requirements of your program and it has been recorded on the University system. This transcript will state that you have completed your program.
An additional two transcripts will be given to you at graduation or posted to you after your graduation ceremony. These transcripts will include your conferral date and be updated with any prizes and awards that you may have received since your program completion.
According to University policy, if you are in Bad Financial Standing, or BFS, you will not be issued a transcript. This means that if you have any unpaid debts to the University you will be unable to obtain a transcript until you clear these debts.
The following is an extract from the University
Policy of Academic Transcripts (No. A-15.5):
Transcripts will not be provided to students who have outstanding
obligations to the University.
No, you can also view your results 'unofficially' by looking at the following options:
Records for students who studied at the South Australian College of Advanced Education (and its precursor institutions) or the South Australian Institute of Technology have been archived.
These records sometimes require reference to hard copy files or microfiche, which are stored in archive centres. Every effort is made to produce transcripts as soon as possible, however, sometimes this can take a couple of weeks. Please let us know if a transcript is required urgently.
The University makes a commitment to its students to retain their records in a confidential manner. As a result of this, transcripts are only issued to the individual applicant and are not permitted to be issued to anyone else. For further information, please see the University policy on confidentiality of student's personal information.
The University's transcript is an official document listing your complete academic record, with no alterations or erasures.
The University has a responsibility to maintain a consistent practice in order to ensure that the integrity of its reporting is not questioned.
It is not uncommon for your achievements in one program, or one year of study, to be of a lesser standard of achievement as in other parts of your records. This may be because your choice of program was inappropriate, or because external personal factors affected your academic performance.
As such extenuating factors are not explained on the transcript, it is often suggested to students that you attach a statement to the transcript explaining those aspects of your transcript that you are unhappy with. This will enable employers to make appropriate allowances when reviewing transcripts.
Please see the University of South Australia Assessment Notations for explanations of the terminology on your academic transcript.
